PRB: Object Buttons in Database Window Do Not Change Colors
'Article ID: Q90803

Creation Date: 22-OCT-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

Changing the default button colors in Windows Control Panel does not affect the colors of the buttons in the Database window.

CAUSE

These buttons are actually hard-coded bitmaps, and there is no way to dynamically change their face, shadow, and highlight colors.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


 * 1) Change one of the button color properties by clicking the Color icon in Control Panel.
 * 2) Return to the Microsoft Access Database window. Note that all the object buttons (Table, Form, Query, and so on) still use the default colors.
 * }
