Access Images

[KenHigg]

Access has a lot of images you can put on buttons and I was wondering if you can use these images on a form without using a button. I'd like to be able to click the up arrow and have some code run but I don't want to use the button because it takes up too much room on the form. And I don't want to use a image from outside Access because I'd have to make sure the database could get to it if I deploy on a new workstation.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
ken

You could resize the button to what ever you would like and this would save a lot of time.

Hope this helps.

An interesting question Ken. Over the years we have had many inquiries to see if you can customize Access form buttons. The general consensus has been "No" with the exception of the text colour.
I would interested in finding out (I don't have the time at the moment to do it myself) if you place a button on the form with a supplied access picture. Then using the properties function, change the picture to the one you want.
What do you think?
