New vs old buttons on a form (1 Viewer)

[Gkirkup]

I have a big application with many old and new forms. When I put a button onto a new form, it looks just as you would expect, a button to click on.
But on old forms the buttons look like a simple rectangle. If I add a new button to an old form, it looks like a simple rectangle and not like a button at all.
Is there a setting for the form that I can change that will allow new type buttons to be added?

try setting to "Yes" the control's "Use Theme" setting.
if it does not work, then you have to create new form.

I find that Access has lately been losing formatting for buttons. Can't pin down the cause but it feels like I keep having to fix buttons a lot.

Anyway, you may need to fix the format on the old forms to make them look three dimensional. Just select all the buttons at once to minimize the clicking required.
