Wondering if such a thing exists for command buttons? I have a help button on one form which brings up a custom help form. It has a circular help symbol on it, and I'd like to make the button circular instead of square, if possible. Just because I want to :P Thanx in advance for any help on this!     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Maurice 7/18/2007 11:07 AM PST   Answer   Cannot be done. What you can do however is insert a picture (not to big ofcourse) from whatever you like and treat this as if it were a commandbutton. So on the image use the click event to place your code to take the action you want. Just to make sure, I mean that the button it self cannot be rounded. Pictures on button can be any shape. hth -- Maurice Ausum "aft3rgl0w" wrote: > hey all, I fuond posted somewhere awhile ago where you can make forms any > shape (circle, polygon, etc) with some code.
