Change Color of a Command Button when Receives Focus?

I have command buttons that receive focus based on a Tab Order. Right now it is difficult to tell that cursor has “landed” on the button. I checked the Properties list, but could not see anything that was specific to color selection. Is there a way to change the color of the button when it receives the focus (or some other event)?

I’m working with command buttons as text (not as pictures). I was able to use the following code that works when both tabbing onto the button and clicking the button with the mouse pointer.

Private Sub GoToTab3_GotFocus()
GoToTab3.FontSize = 9
GoToTab3.FontBold = True
GoToTab3.ForeColor = vbRed
End Sub

Private Sub GoToTab3_LostFocus()
GoToTab3.FontSize = 10
GoToTab3.FontBold = False
GoToTab3.ForeColor = vbBlack
End Sub

Correction:

Add the “http://” in your browswer if needed.
