Solved: Boring buttons

[austenr]

Is there a way to make buttons that are not so boring? Im looking for a way to make a button like a flash button. Perhaps one with a gradiant fill. Thanks

Use a gradient image > copy > paste as image into the controls picture property.

Not sure i follow you. do you have an example?

Austen,

With any ActiveX commandbutton, it has a "Picture" property. Find an image that you want on your button, go to the properties and hit the ... that appears when you click in the field. You then browse to your image and say OK.

Hi Austen,
Never thought about this before, but why not?

[Andy Pope]

You could use an image with a shadow if you really wanted to.

Trouble with unusal controls is user may not realize they should be clicking them.

Thanks guys. Those give me some ideas. Will post back with any more. For now I shall mark this post solved.

Hi Trippy,
If I were you, I'd be more worried about Kelly, I'm sure she's strangling a penguin!
