formatting backcolor on Forms Control Button
I was curious how you could color the backcolor of a forms button using VBA.
The default is Grey, I would like to color it another color. Thanks -- daniel |

You can use RGB, scales are available online if you want a particular color.
CommandButton1.BackColor = RGB(0, 0, 100) -- -John Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.

You can also play with the color to get it the way you want it in properties,
then copy the backcolor you like, switch back and then CommandButton1.BackColor = &H80000012 -- -John Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.

Thanks for your response. Forgive me if I am misunderstanding (I am a novice)but here is the code I tried. Sub Button3_Click() CommandButton3.BackColor = RGB(0, 0, 100) End Sub It didn't change the back color on the button. What am I doing wrong? -- daniel "John Bundy" wrote: You can also play with the color to get it the way you want it in properties, then copy the backcolor you like, switch back and then CommandButton1.BackColor = &H80000012 -- -John Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.

ok, by the look of your Sub you just wrote that on your own. if you
doubleclick on the button in design mode it should create the Sub for you that will look like Private Sub CommandButton3_Click() otherwise you can go to the IDE (where you type the code) and you should see two drop down menu's, click the left one and select CommandButton3, the right combobox should automatically populate with Click and you should see this Private Sub CommandButton3_Click() End Sub add your code in there like this Private Sub CommandButton3_Click() CommandButton3.BackColor = RGB(0, 0, 100) End Sub let me know if you still have trouble -- -John Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.
