    Buttons With Arrows On Them

    Without actually using a bitmap or any other kind of image, isn't it possible to put an arrow picture on a command button?

    That won't work that well... it doesn't on mine, for example. Probably because I have a Spanish version of Windows.

    Command1.Font.Name = "Wingdings 3"
    Command1.Font.Size = 20
    Command1.Font.Bold = True
    Command1.Caption = Chr(102) 'left arrow
    'Command1.Caption = Chr(103) 'left arrow
    'Command1.Caption = Chr(104) 'up arrow
    'Command1.Caption = Chr(105) 'down arrow

    It didn't in mine. Maybe the best idea would be use "Webdings" like I proposed if it worked everywhere.

    Whats the difference between McBrain's WebDings and Hack's WingDings?

    They both look the same to me (at least on my PC)

    The values for the Chr() function can be found by looking at the ASCII chart.

    The values for using Alt+keys can be found in "character map"
