Scroll through Continuous form with VBA up/down buttons

[redekopp]

Is there a way to create an up button and down button that will "scroll" through a continuous form?

Client is using it on a tablet and the scrollbar is too skinny. There appears to be no way to make it bigger without changing the whole tablets scrollbar size which is not an option.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

yes, page up, & page down buttons.

[redekopp]

those are default buttons in access??

Thanks

The keyboard PgUp and PgDn buttons do this.

My research indicates coding custom buttons on form is not simple. Review http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...e-down-page-up

Easier to just use the keyboard.

Is there such a function on an ipad? This is a continuous form running as a subform in a form.

It is possible to do this using VBA code but its a lot of work for little gain - as already stated the PgUp / PgDown buttons do this well enough with no additional work

Can Access be used on an iPad? First I've heard of it!

Not technically, but the client uses an Ipad with an RDP connection to a remote app of said database. So the Ipad is technically the keyboard option in this scenario

Access does however run on the windows tablet on which I'm typing this reply.

Absolutely we have a client that uses 30 windows tablets in rural areas running an access database. We can do on screen keyboards and or just change the registry to increase scrollbar width. This particular client only has Ipads, hence the original question.

Increasing the scrollbar width would be useful. Can you tell me the registry key to do this
I find some database apps work well on a tablet but it very much depends on the form design
Less clutter & a straightforward layout help in this respect
I try & design my apps to be 'tablet compatible' as well as 64-bit compatible

One issue I do have running Access on a tablet is that the VBE toolbars & menubar are missing. Do your Windows tablets have the same issue?
