activex button

[SuryaF]

Heya,
I have a big dillema and I'm hoping one of you can give me a hand.
I've implemented an ActiveX button in my Access 2003 front-end but since I started using it the front-end crashes regularly. The most visible symptom is an "insufficient memory" error coming at some point, after which the forms show up white and then it all crashes.
Another symptom is that the MSAccess process still hangs after I close the database, even when I close it the regular way.

So I'm thinking maybe the control just doesn't work properly with Access. At this point I'm looking for another control that, ideally, was proved compatible with Access and remains stable without killing everything around.

Did any of you use a good button that has color fading, mouse-over highlighting, images, you know, all that jazz?

Any suggestion is very, very appreciated.
Thanks!

If nothing else works well enough for you, you might could use a label customized in code to work like a button - I've done that once before, and there are samples and ideas around here for that purpose.

Are you 100% sure that it's the ActiveX control, and not some code running behind it, or running at the startup and closing of the database?
