Am trying to customise automation in Access 2007/Outlook.
Using MS template which works ok. However, I have the form set up as a subform an embedded in the main form Although the form works fine in isolation, it does not display its command button when viewed with main form.
I am fairly new to this stuff so clearly have done something stupid.
In addition, I want to be able to use the check box so that I don't have to add every entry to Outlook and also have Outlook updated on "enter/tab" at end of entry.
Is this possible
Cheers

Sorry no one responded to this sooner. We're all volunteers, of course, and and on heavy posting days, some questions simply go down the list until they're off the first page. Once or twice a week, depending on life, I cruise the "unanswered threads" listing, and so found this one!
The reason that the command button is missing when the form is displayed as a subform is that it's in Datasheet View, and this view doesn't display unbound objects, such as command buttons or unbound checkboxes, comboboxes textboxes, etc.
You can remedy this by changing the Default View property of the form to Continuous View, then tweak the formatting so that it looks like a Datasheet View.
I want to be able to use the check box so that I don't have to add every entry to Outlook and also have Outlook updated on "enter/tab" at end of entry.
I'm sorry, but this statement makes no sense at all, by itself. You always have to remember, when posting on a forum like this, that you can see your database, but we can't! You'll have to explain this problem more clearly in order for someone to help you.

Another possibility is, if you already have your subform in continuous view and the command button still doesnt show, then you may have the command button placed in the PAGE footer instead for the FORM footer. If this is the case, right click in the form and choose "view form footer" then place the command button in the FORM footer. hope this helps!

I'm a teacher using MS Access on an RMConnect 2.4 network. On some
workstations both I and my students sometimes get an error message
when attempting to insert a command button on a form which reads
"Invalid
use of null". The remainder of the options in the Command Button
Wizard are then unavailable and
the button wil not work.
The only solution is to log on to a different workstation.
Any ideas?

Is it possible to make command buttons in any color other than default
gray? And can you change the text with code ? In other words instead
of hard-coding the text on the button, can you display text which is
'situational' ? Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated !

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?

Trying to install some software on Access 2007. The software works just
fine on earlier versions of Access.
I have been told that it works on Access 2007 but I have not seen that
personally.
The command buttons on my user-created forms do not function when it is
run under Access 2007.
The operating system is Windows XP home SP2.

So I have a Contacts List form that lists all of the division’s staff members...
