Button wizard doesn't work.

[Ed Mattison]

I want to add a button at the end of a data entry form that says "New Form." The data entry staff keeps forgetting the little icon that they could use. I click on the Button icon in Design-controls, but it doesn't do anything or just gives me what looks like a text box. I tried to click on the use "Use Control Wizards" line, but nothing happens. What dumb thing am I doing wrong? Thanks ed

You might get some ideas from this free youtube video on Data Entry form with a Button.

The problem is that I can't get the Use Control Wizard to light up. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Ed

Hmmm. There is a little arrow towards the right of the controls that will expand the list of controls that are available to be added to your form. After the thing is expanded, you can select the Wizard or deselect the Wizard.

Now that I have provided a picture for myself, I can see clearly.

When you click "Use Control Wizard", does it toggle on and off? Or it does not light up? That has to be highlighted to use the wizard for the button.

When I read post #6, post #4 seems like the logical approach to a solution. Apparently, the thing is not getting highlighted/selected.
