bpayne111-Once again, your the man. THX!

Can someone recomend a book or tutorial on how to use Access Data tables from VB.Net? I bought Muarch's" VB.net database programming" but it's geared toward SQL. -E

dynamic_sysop-you rock! thx...everything's going smoothly, I got my .net books in the mail. I'm sure I'll be up to speed in no time. Just a little note: I've seen 3 different ways to call up a form from a button on another form. People make things so hard. My sams teach yourself vb.net in 21 days made it the easiest :D

Like i say, I'm new to this but does this look remotely close to any one: If Me.Button1 = Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Button.MouseHover then <points to new button Image> or If Me.Button1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Button.MouseHover then <points to new button Image>

So... Mouse_Up image, Mouse_Enter and Mouse_Down can be set to activate only when over the button?

bpayne111- thanks for the response...It sounds like your talking about the cursor changing images. I'm refering to the button images. I know there's a .hover type event that could be usefull for the second image of the button. And I have no info on the image used for the click operation maybe .click or something? I do however need a little detail (a few lines of code)...I'm just getting back to programing after years away from my comodore64, TRS-80 and Atari 800 days. I knew how to program on those very well but I'm just getting used to not using line numbers (which is a bit odd for me.) So think of me as a newbe :(

How (if possible) do I make a separate image appear when the mouse is over a button and another image when the button is clicked...so that's total of three images on a button (counting an original image.) thx- Eric
