Join Adam Wilbert for an in-depth discussion in this video Button properties, part of Access 2019: Forms and Reports.
- [Instructor] In the Property Sheet,…we have some additional options.…One of the things that the Wizard…didn't allow us to do is include an icon…as well as the text in our button…but we can actually add that…in the Property Sheet itself.…Right here I have a property called…Picture Caption Arrangement…and it's currently set to No Picture Caption.…If I change it to Right, I come over here…to the Picture Property…which is currently set to None.…I'll press the Build icon here…and it'll allow me to chose from those different icons…that we saw previously.…Let's go ahead and choose the MS Access Table icon…which is this one right here and I'll say OK.…
And now I can see with the Picture Property…the caption arrangement of Right…and the picture set to that icon here,…we have the icon appearing here on the left…and then the text appearing on the right side of that.…So I can have the best of both worlds…with an icon and text as well.…Also in the Property Sheet we have…some options for the different colors that we can apply.…
