Exiting an Access 2010 Table By Adding A Exit Button

**LadyScot101** · 03-27-2013, 10:15 AM

I have a button set up on a menu to take me to a table that I can update as needed. I have been asked to add a button within the table to take the user back to the menu screen. Right now they are clicking on the little "x" and they are not liking that. Is there a way?

Can't have custom buttons on table. Create a form based on the table as RecordSource. Disable the X close on form and create a command button with code to close.

I figured as much, but thought I would give it a shot. I don't think a form is going to work since they are using it to change existing data directly in the table. They just weren't happy with using the little x. Thanks!

Users should not be interacting with tables and queries. Use forms and reports. Forms can look like a table.
