Custom Button image being clipped when resized

[brharrii]

What I'm using


Access 2010
.jpg image downloaded from the internet
- Original Size 3.125 x 3.125
- Desired Size 0.3 x 0.3


My objective is to accomplish all 3 conditions at the same time:

1 - Use a custom image as a button

2 - Be able to resize the image to whatever size I need without clipping the edges / top of the image

3 - When hovering over the image / button, the curser should change to the hyperlink finger



What I've Tried:

First I tried adding a button to my form editing the picture property to embed the jpg image I have saved on my hard drive. This seemed to work great at first, the button looked just like my image until I attempted to resize it to a smaller size. As I reduced the size of the button, instead of reducing the size of the image, it zoomed in towards the center of the image; in other words, the image stayed the same size, reducing the size of the button only reduced the visible portion of the image.

Second, I tried adding the image as a picture to my form and adding an on-click event that would run the macro I was going to have the button run. The image was resizeable but the hyperlink finger didn't appear when I hovered over it.


Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might achieve the desired effects from both attempts at the same time?

Thank you

I figured out a solution that seems to be working, What I did was:

1. Upload the image as a picture to the form

2. Resize as desired

3. add a button to the the form

4. Set button settings to invisible and to show hyperlink hand when hovered

5. Right click button -> Position -> Bring to front

6. Size the button to match the size of the image

7. Lay the button down over the image.

Now I have a hand that shows up when I hover over my custom sizeable image, Yay!
