Instructions and Help about What Form 843 Navigation

Welcome to the first of my microsoft access forms master classes in this first master class I'm going to show you how to build a set of custom navigation buttons like these that you can add on to any access form the reason that I'm building these is because although a form comes with its own set of built-in navigation buttons I find that particularly on modern high resolution computer screens they're very small a little bit difficult to see a little bit difficult to use and I find that some users don't even know what they're for so a set of clearly labeled buttons a very useful tool to add on to any form I'm working here in Access 2023 but what we're going to do applies equally to version 2023 or 2023 so I'm just going to switch into another copy of the database that doesn't have those buttons yet and we'll get started okay here I am with a form that doesn't yet have a set of buttons and the first thing I need to do is put the form into design view so I'm going to the Home tab and choosing design view and I need to decide where on the form I'm going to put my buttons now they will work wherever I put them but I like to put command buttons like this onto the footer of the form the reason being that the footer is always on view in the lower edge of the forms window so even if the form is too big to be accommodated by the window the user doesn't have to scroll down to find the buttons a footer isn't shown by default so you have to ask for it so all you need to do is to right-click...
