    Both Image and Text on a button

    Evening guys and girls,



    Currently in the middle of battling on with a college assignment. I'm on with designing a menu system for my database and I'm stuck trying to figure out how to have both an image and text on a button? Is this even possible?

    While I'm here is it also possible to group Forms into Subforms so I can keep my nagivation system to itself?

    Regards

    Andrew

    easy enough to do, in form design view go to the format properties of your button. Use the picture property to choose your picture, and the picture caption arrangement to display it to the left, top, whatever.

    not sure what you mean by 'possible to group Forms into Subforms'

    Basically instead of having all my "Forms and Menu(forms)" in alphabetical order Under 'Forms' I'm wanting to make diffrent groupings I.E keeping all my menu system together.

    Still doesn't make sense to me. Exactly what does that image represent? Tables, a form, listboxes?

    If you mean you want to organize the Navigation pane, yes can set up groupings there. I never have bothered.

    Yea it's in the navigation pane on the left. I've found the "cutom" option but I was only able to make one heading. It's not a major deal just seems to be a bit of OCD kicking in I think.
    Cheers for the help much appriciated!

    you will find the navigation form is a bit limiting - better to design your own

    @Ajax, Navigation pane, not navigation form. Although, I agree about navigation form.

    You can right click on an object and choose Add To Group, then Add To Group then New Group - probably as many times as you want.
    I'm guessing that a "menu system" is a sort of switchboard form and not a set of commandbars or a ribbon.
