I need help using and having button inside an Option Group!

[jimtmelb1]

Hi,

I have an Access 2000 database. I am in the process of changing the user interface of my database. I have created images that can be used for buttons. All I did is keep the button on top and use the transparent property. Then on focus of this transparent button it displays a slightly darker image so that the user knows which button has focus. Anyway this works great so far.

My problem is I have an option group on three or four forms. The buttons in this option group are toggle buttons. They don't have the transparent property. I need to change this so i can use buttons and make them transparent. Is this possible? If so, can somebody show me how this is possible.

Thnaks in advance
Jim

I don't think it's possible to make toggle buttons (or radio buttons or check boxes) transparent. But how about replacing them with transparent command buttons and letting the command buttons set the value of the option group directly, in their Click events? That's all the toggle buttons do anyway when they're clicked.
