    Help! Converting old flat buttons to newer rounded buttons

    I have Access db's that were originally created in Access 2003, I have upgraded them no problem to accdb and am using them in Access 2010.

    When I create a new form and add a button it is rounded/shaded/white/blue etc - looks good.

    When I add a button to an existing form, or reformat the existing form buttons (back colour Accent 1, Lighter 40% etc) it remains an old style button (unrounded, solid colour etc).



    Can someone please advise how to convert old style buttons to new style buttons - driving me mad.

    Thanks!!

    If they are buttons click on the button, then the format in form design tools and then change the style, shape and shape effects to suit. You can also use the brush next to the font size if you click on the button style you like then brush, then click the old button to "brush" on the style from the desired look.
