Adding Buttoms in "column"

[Jen0dorf]

HI

yet another question please!!

On my form which has "one column" with the fields listed below I want to add three buttons.
If I just add a button then it fills the whole row.



If I was doing a web site would be simple to add a table and make that table have three columns and away I go but it seems Access does not have this ability

So How to I add three buttons under one column, I tried to split vertically using the format tab and right click ---- split but that doesn't seem to work it just makes the row narrower in height

thanks

Ian

Can you post a picture Ian?

Try cutting the button and pasting it away from the table so its free, then resize and make more as you please.

picture would be helpful. I really have no idea what you mean by 'column' on a form..

Rather than trying to force a table to have radio buttons (which sounds like the direction you might be trying to go), you should have a form to save data to the table. On the form, you can add a radio button easily, and only the value that is selected will be saved in the data table.

What do you mean by 'one column with fields listed below' - column is normally synonymous with field. If you have 3 fields and only one can have data for each record then really should be 1 field with 3 options. The 3 options can be presented in a combobox or in an OptionGroup control with 3 radio buttons. OptionGroup and radio buttons can only be on form in Continuous or Single view.

I think his problem was when he inserted a button in layout view it snapped to the bottom of the table and couldn't be resized. I had the same problem it can be confusing when you are new to access. But who knows?! everyone thinks he's asking something different.
