MS Access - Forms - VBA Code with Command Click

[kylegrenier]

Hello All,

This hopefully is a question that in theory should be very simple for someone to answer.

I've created a basic Form and "Button" then "built the event" and pasted in my VBA code for the event.

All I need to do now is have the code execute when the button is clicked.

Can anyone help me with the steps to do so?

I am not a programmer and for this button these are series of basic "update queries" that need to be run.

Alternatively, if I can execute a module (vs pasting in the code as an event) this same way with a button that would also work.

Regards,

Kyle

In the properties window, select the Event tab and select the On Click line. An elipsis button (three dots) will appear. click it and that will create the event procedure that will run when it is clicked, or it will tie the event to the procedure you have already in place if it is setup correctly. You can also call the name of your procedure (assuming that the proper Private/Public assignment was given to it and depending on the location relationship between the event and your procedure) from the OnClick event.

Just to build on Seth...
Follow Seth's instructions, this will insert

Private Sub Command11_Click()
'Cut and paste your code here :)
'
End Sub
 

Command11 is a generic name, it will be replaced by the name you gave your button when you created it... or if you used the default name... then it might actually match :)

Thank you both!! Sorry for the late reply, I assumed I would get an email telling me someone responded. That was, as I suspected very easy.
