   If you have pop-up forms, then you should move the call to Button Painter
   

   bp_PaintButtons Me, BP_STYLE_OUTLOOK_2003  '* Inserted by Button Painter
   

   from the OnActivate event procedure to the OnOpen or OnCurrent event procedure. This will eliminate the problem with the white buttons.

   Please make sure you have the latest version of Button Painter. You can download it here: Button Painter Homepage. Also, you may have a version, or service pack release of MS Access that has a bug that causes this problem. If you are using Access 2002, please make sure you have installed at least the SP-2 release. Get updates for MS Office products here: http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/default.aspx
