button face / form size questions

[josh_lyman]

1st of all let me say hi (newbie on this forum)

2nd: i started doing access about 3 weeks ago. and 90% of my knowledge goes to this forum. ur just great guys (or woman, if any here). cograts. (well to brag a bit, i made a form, subform table on it, can use checkboxes to filter data on the table (4 checkboxes), can add open a new form and add the data while the table subform is refreshed,etc... and like i said, i got it 90% from this forum). Who's da man?? YOU ARE!

3: my problems:
a) i want to either:
- change a face (pictucture) on mouseover or onclick
- use a picture for a button and change it on mouseover or onclick

b) i want to set a default size for my forms. now the problems are:
- the unists are in centimeters (or inches). i want pixels. screensize is in pixels so it's easier to adjust the form that way. i know that if i type for ex. 400px and move away it is converted to px, but is displayed in cm. any way to use px as default display units?

- the form has the size of the whole window instead of just the grid. what's the trick? (i mean if i say 400px, the grid is 400px. but if i have a gray area 200px more (design view), then when the form is opened, it will be 600px). huh?

c) can i get rid of the scrollbars if i don't need them? and they will auto appear when needed.

Thanks for the answers. And again, even if i don't get any, this forum is by far the best. (well for access anyway

d) is there a "mailto" function i can run with onclick [command button]?

Bye for now
Josh

baaaaaaah.

i said i'm new to THIS forum, not ANY forum. i did do the "read other topics". that's what i stated. "know that and that, 90% from this forum" ?

well anyway, the questions are specific so pls if anyone can answer any of them it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I took a wild guess that you were new to the forum since your post count was only 1 when I responded. I was being kind as I began my post with a simple... Welcome to the forum!

I doubt that you will receive a lot of help with your questions since you have refused to search for any of your questions. All of your questions have already been asked and answered in numerous threads within this forum.

I also suggest that you limit your posts to one question or topic per post. You will obtain faster and better results from those willing to help you.

Here is a great link that will help you help yourself for the common questions... Search

Good luck!

to Ukraine82: great! thanks!

to ghudson: i AM new to this forum. so thanks for the welcome. but i did use the search button, since i stated what i learned allready using this forum. (the 90% thing and the sentence before). didn't mean to be impolite but you just have to read my 1st post closer so you see that i stated that. and since i didn't find specifics answers, i just asked anew.
as far as the 1 topic per post, that might not be such a bad idea.

thanks again for the answers.
Josh
