Command Button in Nav Form Not Working

[xyba]

Can a functioning command button be added to a navigation form?

I'm asking because I've added an exit application button underneath the left hand vertical tabs to quit the application, rather than having one on each subform.

However, when I "click" the button nothing happens, it doesn't appear to be selectable, though enabled is set to "Yes".

Is it some quirk to do with Nav forms which means the command button can only be placed in the header, or something like that?

Hi. It depends on how you created the button. Did you create a new one or did you copy and paste from an existing button?

Hi. I created it using the wizard.

did you add some code on it like docmd.quit.
you can also add another NavigationButton to the navigation form.
on its Click event: docmd.Quit.

No, I didn't. But I've just deleted the original one and replaced it in exactly the same way, using the wizard and it works.

Strange.

Hi. This tells me you created the button while in Design View of the Navigation Form. You may have to give us the exact steps you used to create the button and added it to the Nav Form and test it, so we can see if there's a misstep somewhere. Typically, you would use the Layout View to design a Nav Form, but you can use the Wizard in this view.

Oh, looks like you posted while I was testing it out for my reply above. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. Good luck with your project.
