Buttons

[Mell via AccessMonster.com]

Okay,

I have some buttons (images) that I got from (FREE) www.freebutton.com and
OTHER free places. I put them on my switchboard to make the appearance better
(it looks great!). Next to the button, I have the name of the form (i.e.
expenses), but what i want to do is make it even easier for the user.

Is there a way that when they move their mouse over the button (image), it
will activate is with a hand to let the user know that the button is alive?
You know kind of like when you stroll your mouse over a link on a website, it
gives you the hand so you know that is a link, etc.

Does any one know if access does this or is their code out their for this? If
code, please give good instructions on where to put the code.

Thank you so much.

You can use the Hyperlink Subaddress property of the Image control.
Just set the property to the name of the form you want to open (use the
Build button to the right of the property field to navigate to the
form/object you want to open).

Just setting the Hyperlink Subaddres property to a *space* is enough to show he 'hand'
I use this also and in my main form I have to use code like
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Web", acToolbarNo to get rid of the toolbar again.

It worked!

Only problem is it gives the following error before it open the form.

Microsoft Access cannot follow the hyperlink to "form name or *space*" please
verify the destination.

So the hand works, but I don't want to deploy this app with those errors
popping up?
What's missing?

You do NOT key-in the characters "*space*" but simply a space (use the space-bar)
You will NOT see anything in the property-sheet... but there is a space there.
It workes!
