I have been making some custom buttons and noticed that the size of my db went up 360kb after I added two buttons. One button consists of two images and the other button one image. The original file size was 2kb for each image. Is 360kb a normal increase in db size after converting images to buttons?
There might be a hefty price to pay, in db size, if I get carried away and add my "up market" buttons to all my forms!
Hello everybody,
I’m new here and I have a question for you..
Is it possible to place round buttons or oval buttons on your forms instead of the normal square ones?
Greets,
Tom
Is this possible? I can't seem to find this q anywhere here so I thought I'd post.
I changed the colour of my form to white, but the Navigation Buttons at the bottom and the command buttons that I 've added stay at the default grey.
Is there anyway to change this? I right-clicked and tried changing it to white through the properties but there's nothing there that does this.
:confused:

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a button on a form that will export only that record. On the command options I do not see there being an option to do such. Can anyone help? Thanks. I would like to export to excel or anything that will capture what I am looking at. I have noticed that Yes/no boxes do not export to excel?
I have a form that's unbound (Music) with a subform (Arist Info)that is bound. This subform also contains two other Subforms (bound).
Their names are (Album Info) and (Song Info). The subform (artist Info) contains some pagebreaks, which I'm trying to use to bring up
the two other subforms .The cmd buttons used to control the pagebreaks are located on the main form (Music). My problem is with the third & fourth cmd buttons. I can go back & forth nicely with the first two, and even go the the third. That's were the problem starts. I can't go back to the secound or first from the third or go to the four. The VB code haults and the GoToPage line is highlighted. The code use on the on click event is as followed:
Forms!Music.SetFocus
Forms!Music![Artist Info].SetFocus
Me.GoToPage 1
The only thing that changes between all four of the is the page#. I hope someone can help me with this, it's driving me crazy not knowing what i'm doing wrong. If you need to look at a smaple DB there's one on a post called "Problem dealing with macros". I just posted this one a few days ago.
Thanks,
Rich M.
I'm a bit tired of the buttons I have been using both default MS and my custom ones. I'd like to find some more interesting versions that I can use and have been searching on google etc but the options are limited. Does anyone have any favourite links I can follow?

Little background, the database I made is a continuous form. I am wanting a command button that when pushed will put it in data entry mode, and when pressed again will put back in a 'view all' state. I know it is a simple If Then, but I don't know VBA very well =
Other thing, is I wanting to be able have button that when pressed will output to an excel sheet, right now I have it when it is pressed it asks me what kind of format I want outputted, and I want it automated to just go straight to excel.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I have a field (DueDate) that will blink (flash) if it passes its value
problem is the text to the right of the navigation buttons is not showing the number of records unless I navigate till end of the records.
I tried Me.Requery and Me. Refresh but with no success
How do I make the command buttons on my form actually do something, the only one that attempts to work is "DELETE RECORD" the others dont do anything at all

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe detail section of my (continuous) form may or may not have a scroll bar on the side depending on the number of records. When it is there, it is way off to the side and the user may not notice that there are more records to view. I'd like to add Up/Down buttons to the footer that become visible when the scroll bar is visible, and work like the Up/Down buttons on the scroll bar.
Can anyone suggest how I might code this?
Thanks,

First time user - so please forgive if this is already out there.
I want to hide the navigation buttons on a form and create a custom set of controls. I can create the buttons themselves but am having trouble with the "N of X", where:
X is the total number of records in the query, and
N is the current record showing in the form.
I can get X but how would I capture and display "N".
Any help would be appreciated.
Please help!!
I have a form with a "filter by form" button generated by a macro and it works fine. Now I need a button so that the user will not have to use the funnel button in the toolbar to apply the filter. When I tried to place an apply filter button in the form, both buttons become greyed out and the only way is to click the funnel in the toolbar. Any help!!

I searched the forum on custom navigation buttons and found great posts about it. I downloaded 3 samples and the one that fit what I needed was SJ McAbney's dbNavSubform.zip. sfrmNavigation (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=87791) I imported sfrmNavigation per SJ McAbney's on the post into my database.
I didn't want to start a new thread so I posted on the thread: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=88880
But I didn't get any responses.. I don't know if it's been overlooked.
I am encountering problems when I use dbNavSubForm in my database.
1. I made 2 copies of sfrmNavigation and I am using it on 2 of my forms.
On the main form that I am using it when I first open the database it shows record 1 of 1 when really there is more than 1 record. When I click on the next button it then goes to say 2 of 15.
How can I fix this so that when I open the database it will say 1 of 15 and not 1 of 1?
2. I have a Main form ex: frmMain and a subform on frmMain. I added the the subform (dbNavSubForm) onto my subform. Make sense? Here the navigation buttons do not work. When I try to add a new record it tells me "The object frmTOItems isn't open" When I try to click on the next or previous it tells me "Object variable or With block variable not set. How can I fix this?
I have captured a picture of my form so that you can see what I mean.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I can hide buttons on a form but what I want is to hide/ show it when one of the fields has a specific value.
Cheers

I have a database where people are entering data into in constantly. Now I was told that someone else needs to go into the database and check integrity of data entered. There are a few buttons that I don’t want a “data verifiers” to click on, but “data entry folks” should be able to. Is there any way to may be password protect certain buttons and only be visible if a password is typed or something like that? I know how to password protect a form, but that’s not really exactly what I need and want to do. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Hi,
I have created a small problem for myself.
I was editing one of my forms, which is something i do often normally without a hitch, and once i'd finished i noticed that my find contact and add new contact and also delete contact buttons had stopped working. These are all totally basic buttons made with the control box wizards by the way. During editing i cut and pasted one of the labels away from the data box so that i could position it without the actual data box moving along with it. then once i had it where i wanted it i re-associated it with the data field/box. This is what i suspect caused the problem.
Anyway, i've tried removing the broken buttons and creating new ones but i still get the same error.
here is the error in all its glory.

i've tried some stuff i found on ms knowledgebase but didn't have any luck so i hope you can help me people.
many thanks for reading anyway.
I know how to change the color of the font of the command button, but saw nothing in properties on how to change the color of the button... is this at all possible. If you need a reason, it is for designing preference really.
View 1 Replies View Relatedhey, i have a form which uses one table only which is for purchases. it has 4 fields:
memberID:
productID:
quantity:
date:
and then it has a button - "Add Another Purchase" which confirms the purchase.
However, I want the stock number in tblProducts to decrease by the quantity whenever that button is pressed. I have tried using MS visual basics to enter a code but i dont think he "Stock number" is recognised, as it is in a different table to the one i used for my form. (i have linked the two tables, however)
any solutions????????
