After I got it working, I wanted to put a button on the form, but when
I try to run the form, the button does not show up?
Can I use buttons with a datasheet view of a form?
No. "Datasheet" means just that... display the information in datasheet
format. It might be a more useful feature if it would display the datasheet
in the detail section of the Form, along with the Form Header and Footer,
but that isn't the way it works.
That's why I haven't ever used that option, except to demonstrate that you
_can_. I create a form in continuous Form view ("tabular" per the Wizard)
and fiddle with the formatting in Design View until I get it sufficiently
compressed to show the data I want. Actually, I really don't ever get it
"nearly all the way" to Datasheet View, because my users appreciate a little
more separation between the Fields.
