Hi, I use to have Access 2001, 1 month ago I installed Access 2003 but my
forms (text box, command buttons) look like 2001 pretty square, It doesn't
have Those round borders on the commands buttoms and in general look updated.

If someone may show me how to change this set up, I will appreciate it.

Thanks

Change your Windows Display Properties to Windows XP Style. It's currently
on Windows Classic style if you don't see rounded buttons. Of course, this
assumes your operating system is Windows XP. If it's an earlier version,
you can't get rounded buttons with Access 2003.

Why in the world would anyone want the horrid Luna skin that came
with WinXP? It's the ugliest thing I've ever seen, and it also slows
down the system significantly.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and some folks like the look.

If folks are willing to empty their wallets and go under the knife for
beauty, they're certainly willing to squander system resources for it, too.
