How can I change the color of certain buttons if they get pressed?
I would "like" to use color NAMES (RED, GREEN, BLUE, BROWN etc)

I have tried to declare the name as public in my declarations, and then
assing a RGB value (like RED= "255,0,0") but this is the wrong type

Also, when I move to the NEXT record, I would like to reset the colors of
the buttons

I have gotten the original color to set with .commandbuttonxx.background =
RGB(125, 125,125), and I can change it when I press the button, but I can
not figure out where and what to put it in order to "RESTORE" when I move
from record to record. If I put it where I refresh my .textboxes , I get
an
error:
Compile Error: Method or data member not found (this is with out the . in
front) and if I do have the period in frount, I get a compile error:
Invalid
or unqualified reference


Thanks
