does anyone know how I can get the Windows XP style command buttons to work in Access 2000? I'm on an actual XP pro machine and I'm sure there's an active x control somewhere... just don't know where to look

When I create a new form and add a button it is rounded/shaded/white/blue etc - looks good.
When I add a button to an existing form, or reformat the existing form buttons (back colour Accent 1, Lighter 40%, Use Theme Yes etc) it remains an old style button (unrounded, solid colour etc).
How to convert old style buttons to new style buttons ..
The Quick Style and Change Shape formatting command buttons greyed out. What setting do I need to change to make them available?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs 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.

I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a master form, which is a tab style. I have five additional forms that I want to use as sub-forms within each tab. I also want to include master navigation buttons that will work for each sub-form in unison. In other words if I navigate to record 10 on tab 1 and switch to tab 2, I want the new tab to show the information related to record 10. It would appear that I need to link them together in some fashion.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my current database there seems to be two different types of borders in my pop-up forms! The best way to explain it is that some forms will have the Access style border while others have the glass style border that you see in windows. I can't seem to find any settings that will change this or even determine what causes it.

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.
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 8 Replies View RelatedI want to create a new database which has a startup form that has 4 command buttons.. My problem is that I want that every click of the command buttons will take me to the main switchboard of the other/different database.. How am I going to link those buttons to different databases?:confused:
anyone help me?:(
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????????

I am a long time user of ACCESS but use ACCESS97 for specific reasons. Have ACCESS97 operating on a PC with Win2000 and WinXP Home. Recently had to buy a new PC with WinXP Professional. Cannot seem to install the software. In the process get some error messages. First,
"An error has occurred at changing workgroup data base"
I click OK then get,
couldn't create SYSTEM.MDW file; after setup completes, reboot and run Workgroup Administrator before you run this application
I don't know what to do next. Do not know what the Workgroup Administator is. Two questions:
1. Is it possible to run ACCESS97 on this OS?
2. If so, can you advise on how to do the installation successfully?
I appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Cheers!
I'm running Access 2000 and want to use some different icons than available through Access on some command buttons. So far, I can only get it to accept bitmaps. This isn't a problem if bitmaps can have a transparency. I don't think they can though. Any suggestions?
The icons I want to use have a transparency.

I have a form listing clients. Each has a command button linking to another form with client details and other option. One the bottom of the form is an Add Client button. I want the user to only be able to add a max of 6 clients, and the buttons to these clients be invisible until the Add Client button is pressed and the information about the client is filled out. Then back on main form listing clients, the client name will appear with a command button that will link to client details. How can this be done? I've seen it done, but can't figure it out.

I have created a form in Access 2003 based on a query, the form has a sub form( basically the form shows different projects, the sub form shows the stages of the project, one project can have many different stages).

I would appreciate any help, thanks

Hi all,
I'm having a problem trying to get some code to work that a member of this forum helped me with some years ago. Basically I have a form with a combobox that is used to select the user name and a textbox for the password to be entered. There are two different types of user, manager and clerk. The logon button must open the selection screen form but if the user is a clerk, then the delete client command button must be disabled.
I keep getting a 'Compile Error stating Block If without End If' and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
I'm also not sure what code I should be writing to disable the command button dependant on user.
I know this is not great security, but it's only going to be used as an interim solution for 4 people (none with access experience). Can anyone please explain to me why I'm getting the compile error and what code I would need to disable the command button on the form and where I would need to put it.
Many thanks.
Here is the code:
If Me.Password = Me.Combo10.Column(4) Then
If Combo10.Column(3) = "Manager" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Splash_Screen"
ElseIf Me.Password = Me.Combo10.Column(4) Then
If Combo10.Column(3) = "Clerk" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Splash_Screen"
End If
Else
Msgbox "Incorrect Password, try again"
End if
Was woundering if the was a way to habdle multiple command buttons with one procedure. I have done a little VB.Net and I remember that you coud use one sub to handle multiple buttons using the handles key word. I was wondering if Access could do that. What I have is 37 command buttons named cmdView1 through cmdView37 all I really need is the number that prefixes the command buttons name. I know how to pull out the number but I can not figure out how to use only one sub procedure for all 37 buttons. Any help is appreciated.
