Join Adam Wilbert for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding buttons, part of Office 365: Access Essential Training.
- Adding buttons to your forms brings…in another level of interactivity.…The button wizard will help us attach…the act of pressing the button…to a specific action or result…that we want to take place.…Let's add a few buttons to our Employees form.…I'll come down here and I'll right click on it,…and we'll open it straight into design view.…In order to add a button, we'll come up here…to the Design tab, and in the Controls group,…we'll find this object here, the rectangle…with the four X's in it.…That, if I hover my mouse over it,…is the button control.…Let's go ahead and select it.…I'll click on it to grab a single button.…
You'll notice my icon changes here…to indicate that I'm currently holding a button.…And when I click again down on my form,…it will drop the button down and start…the command button wizard.…Now here in the wizard, we have several categories…of different actions we can perform.…We have Record Navigation and some actions…associated with that.…We have Record Operations to do things…like add new records or delete records.…
