Command button causing hover issues

[1DMF]

Hi,

I am having a problem with a command button on a form with tabs.

If I copy/paste a control button the button seems to attach to the form not the tab I wish it to be a part of and so each tab shows the same button.

If I draw a new button on the tab control, the button only displays on the desired tab, however, a white background rectangle appears behind the button when it is hovered over and I can't seem to get rid of it?

It seems I can get the control to not have this background rectangle if the control is on the form, but not if the control is on the tab control?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
1DMF.

Doesn't have you a subform for each tab ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

No, not a subform for each tab, some have subforms on them , but not the tab in question.

Note: If I change the control to

Transparent = yes

I can see what looks like a bounding box with a border which is the area that is causing the hover issue?

Switch back to 'no' and the button show correctly and this weird bounding box disappears, but shows when the control is hovered over?

OK, further analysis, this bounding box goes away when I set

Use Theme = No

but of course I loose the rounded corners and the shadow effect from the control.

What part of the theme d I need to switch off / change to resolve this?

OH, another weirdness with the controls.

If I am in design view and right click the form, select 'form view' and then hover over the controls this background box doesn't appear.

However, if I close the form and then use the button on another form that opens the form in question using

    DoCmd.OpenForm "Contacts"

, then I have the control hover issue?

Do I assume themes don't work properly in access 2010 and I should give up?

I cannot stop new buttons from having this crappy invisible box appear behind controls when hovered over.

Buttons that were put on the form pre-2010 (access 2003) work fine and even though they have this weird theme bounding box showing when you make the control transparent, it doesn't show when the control is hovered over.

If I cut / paste a control that works fine, the new control that is an exact copy of the one that works has this hover issue, as do any new controls I draw on the tab control (page).

The only way to stop this happening is to turn off the theme and have them as oldskool grey buttons.
