I fount the same cute arrows, they were further down the list, thanks

 

[vbaInet]

Which one is the cute one?

 

[oskar]

Go to Next or Go to Previous are the ones I selected. I will not bother for the other ones (Go to First Record or Go to Last record)

 

[vbaInet]

You selected the Arrow Right picture, you need to select the Go To Next picture.

 

[oskar]

That's the ones I selected, Go to Next and Go to previous. The arrows are identical to what I had before and it works the way you said

 

[vbaInet]

I'm talking about selecting the Go To Next picture from the Picture property on the Property Sheet. I'm not referring to the Go To Next action you find when creating a button. Are we on the same page?

 

[oskar]

Sorry you lost me here, I thought we are talking about the arrow navigation. What is the Next action for?

 

[vbaInet]

See attached.

 

[oskar]

That's what I did before vbaInet and I said it's working

 

[vbaInet]

Only going by what you said oskar

Sorry, now it works BUT the new arrow is not as cute, ...

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

I'm intrigued- what constitutes a "cute arrow"?

 

[oskar]

I understand but now all is fine, I have the cute arrows + I can use them from my keyboard. Many thanks to you vbaInet

 

[vbaInet]

Attached is an image of my understanding

 

[oskar]

Exactly, the "sexy" is the one which now works for me

 

[vbaInet]

I wonder if Uncle G would agree

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

I prefer the Dad's Army arrow which by definition is not sexy.

 

[oskar]

Trying to improve my form I thought: is there a way to use the keyboard arrow keys to activate the navigation arrow keys on my form?

So instead of using &Next to go to the next record I could use &Right arrow key (or whatever the symbol is), much simpler

Do the keyboard arrows have a symbol I can use with the & ?

 

[vbaInet]

Yes, but you would need to consider the scenarios where you're in a multi-line textbox trying to move the cursor between lines or characters, or in a listbox trying to move up and down between rows, or in a combo box trying to make a selection... I think you can see where I'm going with this.

 

[oskar]

Never thought about it, so better to keep my "sexy" arrows.
Thanks
