When I have a form in view mode, the buttons at the bottom open several
other forms, such as a contact list, and a "home" page. If I leave the
cursor over the button for a second, the little yellow box comes up but
tells me "open form" since I used the wizard to create code to open the
form. Can this text in the yellow box be changed from "open form" to
"contact list" or "home"? If this can be done, how would I go about
it? This of course isn't a life or death situation for my database,
but am just more curious than anything. Any ideas?

That is controlled by the ControlTipText property of the control. You will find
it on the { Other } tab of the property sheet.

In the design view of the form, select the command button and open the
properties window if it is not already open (press alt-enter). Under
the "Other" tab, go to Control tip text and bang in whatever you want.

The text sits in one of the properties for the button. It is called
ControlTipText, and is located two before the last on the Other tab of
the property sheet.

I have one main form that I use to view data as well as add new records.
When I click the add new record button, many of the form's controls that
arn't needed get set to invisible. When I'm done entering the new record, I
want to click on a command button that resets and requeries the form to the
state it is in when it first opens.
What would the VBA code be for such a command button ?

on a button. I was thinking of doing it with continuous forms but
since i can only have one column of buttons that way it wont work.
Any help will be much appreciated.

queries. The error messages such as "Null value in required field" or
"duplicate value in primary key" are suppressed. The error messages
appear when runnign the apend query manually or when closing the form
using X, but not when using command buttons.
Does anyone know how can the messages be displayed when using command

A couple of easy questions here hopefully. I've been working on two
different database projects which make use of multiple
forms.
1. Where's the best/recommended placement for command buttons for things
like delete, save, edit, cancel buttons - in the footer, or on the form
detail section?
2. If in the footer, how do you add them to the tab order?

Just to confirm, is it true that you can't change the image of an <INPUT
TYPE="IMAGE".... from within a CSS styelsheet?
I know the standard command is SRC="....", but there doesn't seem to be a
command in CSS that manipulates this value.
Any get arounds?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
