QuickTip: Navigation Captions

Even after 17 years of developing in Microsoft Access, I'm still learning about features that have been there the whole time...

BTW Mike, I note your website uses markdown formatting.

I thought I should mention you can copy your text into ChatGPT and ask it to provide markdown tags.

I didn't either. But then again, I mostly hide navigation buttons in my forms.

I loved that. One thing we all need is the humility to admit was can still learn new things.

Colin's comment is correct that longer caption text does not widen the space to display the whole text which is unfortunate. Nice tip though.

Yes. Which is the same as we admitting we or should I say, I don't know everything.

In case anyone was wondering, my comment about this feature was on Mike’s web page. It was new to me as well. I’m always happy to admit I don’t know everything … in fact my signature line is based on that point

Oooh, just for once I'm early to a party, I've used this function for ages!

The feature is nice to have (thanks @Pat) but given that its so obscure that most of us have never noticed it before, I do wonder how many end users will even notice what the navigation caption label is.
