Default Rectangle Round Edges

Hello,

Does anyone know how to get a rectangle with the round edges, as you get
with an option group box?

Many thanks

Martin

Could you perhaps use the GroupBox, and remove the label?

Access has always been more about business productivity apps, and it
has few graphics options. Perhaps you can use a background image with
a roundrect?

What version are we talking about here? In 2003, with "Use Windows Themed
Controls" checked, I see no difference between the box around an Option Group
and the Rectangle Control itself. And neither really has "rounded corners."

And I second Tom's statement about Access being a business productivity apps!
While it's nice to have a pleasant looking interface, the important thing is
having one that is easy for the end users to utilize and one that supports
their business needs.
