I'm using AC2003 and have noticed that when I have a detail section on a form
set to a dark backcolor the command buttons in that detail section that have
text on them display fine. However the picture buttons have a gray square
around them when the option to use windows themes is set on (buttons are
rounded on corners). When I run my mouse over them the picture command
buttons with the rounded border disappears. Also, when I turn off the use
Windows themes and the command buttons are square on the corners, the display
for the picture buttons look fine.

Is there a way to use the Windows themes and remove the gray border?

Thanks in advance!

This sounds like a problem with your graphics driver rather than with
Access.

Open the Display Options dialog (e.g. through Control Panel, or right click
on the Windows Desktop -- it varies with versions of Windows.) Under
trouble-shooting, there may be options to turn off hardware acceleration and
so on. Temporarily switch these things off.

If this fixes the problem, see if there's an updated driver for your
graphics card.
