multiple buttons on a main form

[chrisd49]

Hi All
I have a main form which displays some basic info aboute a site. I would like to be able to place multiple buttons down the right side of the form. This would be similar to having a seperate column which is not affected by the number of records on show. I have considered placing them in the form header but think a column down the side would look much neater.
Any help would be much appreciated.

perhaps you could "fake" having a fixed column by placing the buttons on the main form and having everything else you want to show as a subform

The Mainform/Subform idea is definitely the way to go. Create an overly large main form and place all your buttons how you want along the right. Then create a separate form that contains the data you want. Save the second form and then drag it on to the main form to create the subform. The syntax to communicate between the two forms can be a little tricky, but it's not that bad. The general syntax is like this:

Main form to subform:
MainFormName.SubformName.ControlName.Property

Subform to main form:
Forms(MainFormName)!ControlName.Property
