Hi All

Just at completion stage of a project. Looking at the finished article I can
now see that the presentation of the forms is a little dated, particularly
the many buttons on the form. Is there a quick "easy" way to brighten,
modernise my App?.

Thanks

Check out the "hover buttons" on this sample:

Do you use a switchboard? I like to use a custom menubar instead an
have a "splash" screen form wiht the same background as the Acces
background. I also use Stephan Leban's background color changer foiun
here: http://www.lebans.com/changemdibackground.htm to make all m
Access aplication background white. It looks better than the defaul
gray.

Thank you both!

Liked the Buttons and splash

Does Access2003 have more modern features?

I am suprised that there is so little adjustment to the look of Access, but
I supose you can't have everything.
