Default Toggle buttons dont turn blue??

I made a database for a Home Based Care project in rural South Africa. Now
that I am here I installed it onto their computer. Only to find that although
everything works, the toggle buttons I used do not turn blue when they are
activated on their computer. They do work, but they just dont turn blue. With
computer skills as limited as they are here, it would be nice to have clear
indications of the choices people make on their form. I use Windows Vista
home basic with Access 2003. They have Windows XP with access 2003 from the
same group installation as I use. Theirs is a desktop, mine a laptop. And
yes, both are colour screens.

Can I set something so the buttons will at least show their activated state,
either by turning blue or by looking pressed?

Thanks!

If buttons are unbound, sometimes their color won't show. Go in the
properties of the button and try changing the colors there.
