>I am using vfp6 as my client has win98 on his pcs. I want to color command buttons and put text in them. I am using a plain picture of the colour I want as the picture on the command button, but I would also like to add text over this picture. Other than placing the label control over the command buttin, I was wondering if there was any way of adding text to that command button without the text appearing at the very top of the command button.
