custom record selectors... 1

Hi,
is there anyway to customize the record selectors on a form?
instead of the arrows i want 'friendly' buttons 'new record' etc

Hi

Not sure if you can change the record selectors already there but you can choose not to show these and create buttons in the body of the form instead.

To Create a Button
- Go to the forms design view
- In the Control Toolbax click on Command Button
- Draw a box in the main section of the form and a wizard
will pop up askin what you want the button to do. In
record navigation there is next record and previous record
- You will then be asked to choose a picture or type some
text to go on the button
- Click finish and there is your button
- Repeat this for the other button

To disable the existing record selectors
- Go to the forms design view
- Double-click on the square in the top left hand corner of
the view of the form itself
- In the properties window there is an option to have
record selectors
- Set this to no
- Close the window

Hope this helps

May The Force Be With You
