Back to simplicity: Floating CommandButtons

A lame little "3D" effect with a shape and a command button. makes it look like the button is floating above the form.. the contained code shows how to further that effect by moving the button..

Assumes
You need 1 command button and one shape. size them both to the same size, fill the shap to a nice shadow color, and place the shape 60 twips right, and 60 twips down from the button.. if you wish the shorten/lengthen the distance, simply play with the numbers; don't forget to remove the border around the shape..
