This page shows an ellipsis button in action:

Refer to the second screen shot, which contains a dialog "Text Box: txtCount."

I think this is what the OP is referring to, and if so, much of the
discussion is not relevant to his question. The button is very small,
and is very common in MS Access and other programs where you must edit
object properties.
