>Sorry, misspelled S/B "distorts". I mean the halo indicating that the button has focus after being clicked intermingles with the button caption causing it to be hard to read.

What version of VFP are you using?
Could you tell me what the command button's height,width,caption,fontsize,font and anything else that might effect the size of the caption text) and I will test it on my computer. I am using vfp7 on a W2K machine.
