Hi Maggie,

I do not believe that you can change the background color of buttons from
the Forms toolbar and, in my experience, the button caption text wraps.

Why not use a button from the Control toolbox. These are much more flexible
and provide access to the teo properties that you want to control.

Thank you for your help. I was using the forms toolbar.

Assuming that the button is from the Controls Toolbox,

Right-click the button | Properties
Double-click the 'BackColor' option | Palette and select a color
Double-click the 'WordWrap' option (to select True)
Close the Properties window

I need to change the background color of a button created to execute a
macro
and change the word wrap property to true so all of the text can be
viewed
on
the button. Any advise is much appreciated. Thanks
