    no. but you can change the color based on the data

    Code:
    select case txtBox.value 
    
    case "A"
    btn.backcolor = vbRed
    case "B" btn.backcolor = vbBlue
    end select

    And it would have to be a Single View Form...not a Continuous View Form.

    To do it on a Continuous View Form...you'd have to use a Textbox, and its OnClick Event, tweaked to look like a Command Button...and then you would have to use Conditional Formatting.

    The problem with making anything foolproof...is that fools are so darn ingenious!
