You could use Server.Transfer to transfer the user between pages. There is a setting with Server.Transfer that lets you gain access to controls on other pages.

However, what I recommend that you do is store a flag in Session that indicates the visibility state of the buttons.

Please Help, I have a form with multiple buttons "New User", "Delete User", "Save" buttons, when I access the form it selects the "New User" button by default, so when you hit the return key ("keyboard") it goes directly to "New User" form. My question is: How could I disable the default selection so that when I access the form none of the buttons is selected until I click on it myself? Many thanks in advance. Regards

I have multiple SQL tables so I understand I need to put them each in a GroupBox. All the examples I saw from the books or from the web show me how to add static radio buttons at design, or dynamically at run time but with fixed radio buttons (like from an array). I need to create radio buttons based...

I have an MS Access app with multiple forms. One of the forms has a Toolbar (MsComctlLib.Toolbar) and it works as advertised. I handle the buttons in the Toolbar1_ButtonClick event. I would like to be able to control the toolbar from another form. Forms!frmClipping!Toolbar1.Buttons(2).Clicked = True does not work. Does anybody have any ideas how to do this? Gerhard

Overview: 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.
