Copying and using the same navigation (command) buttons!

[atiq]

I have got serveral forms where i want to use the same command buttons for each form to navigate through records. i was wondering if there is a way of achieving this without having to create all of the same command buttons again each time for a different form. i tried copy and paste which copied the command buttons but didn't function on the other form.

Any help would be appreciated. hope someone can help me with this issue.

What does your code currently do?

what u could possibly do is create public procedures passing in the form object so the code is now not duplicated
You still need to create command buttons on each form and each one then calls this common procedure

If you insist on using the same Buttons, with the same functionality, on multiple Forms, simply copy and paste the Form and rename it. Eliminate non-essential Objects and keep the Buttons that you need. The original code will still be encapsulated within the Buttons.

ADezii's is the best answer.
On a Command Button by Command Button basis though, you can copy an individual item from one form (Design view) onto another and then Copy/Paste the relevant code (Procedures etc) from one module to the other.
