Buttons!

[kp123]

I have created a switchboard 'front page' through which I hope for users to access the forms for inputting data.
Within this front page I have an 'enter' button - successfully created - everything.



However, I am unclear as to how you activate this, or any other button. I have linked it to the appropriate form and stated the action I want it to undertake, but nothing is happening.

What further instructions do I need to provide ...and where?!

Thanks.

You can put code in the OnClick event procedure to do whatever you want. Ex.:

Msgbox "Hello World"

... in the OnClick event procedure will display a message when you click the button. Try this to see if your button is working and to see if you've put the code in the right place.

I have seen the OnClick option, which takes me to the Macro/Coding page.
Does this mean that I have to write some coding to facilitate this?

This may be more advanced than I am!

The button wizard will guide you through many common button options like opening a form, or a report.

Hmm, it did but I expected the instructions I gave it in the 4/5 steps to result with a button that worked - the macro text certainly has been automatically created from what I can see.
I created a new form for my front page - perhaps I need to focus on creating some sort of manual link between this and my data-entry form...?

Sorted! I knew there must have been some type of blockage!
I had to 'enable' some settings. That did it.
Thank you for your suggestions pdebaets.
