Hi,

Does anyone know how to get access to the images used by
the Command Button Wizard in Access?

I am talking about the wizard that walks you step by step
when you first create a command button on an Access Form.

I would like to use these buttons on my User Forms created
with Excel.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Peter
 
Hi Peter,

The images used by the Command Button Wizard are stored in
a DLL file somewhere on a big "slab" so to speak. I don't
believe you can extract them per se, but here are some
alternatives to using them elsewhere.

If you use Access 97, you're life just got easier. Follow
this link:

http://www.zada.com.au/accessaddins.htm#access97

Download the free "Command Bar Face ID Viewer". This
installs a simple Access Add-In which will show you on a
series of tabs all of the Office icons. You simply Copy
and Paste them onto custom menu and toolbars or Paste them
into a program like Paint. What you can do is then save it
as a bitmap file to be accessed elsewhere.

I don't think they have the utility for 2000 or 2002, but
I'm not 100% sure.

If you DO use 2000 or 2002 you'll just have to be a little
more creative.
1. Go to View-->Toolbars-->Customize
2. From here you can look at all the various menu and
toolbars. If you find an icon you like just right-click on
it and select "Copy Button Image."
3. Now you can just open up Paint and Paste it into there.

Somewhat easy to do, but a little time consuming searching
for "just the right one."

By the way, you can also select from other Office programs
as well. I did the same thing listed above, but in Excel
and Word. Went to Customize and found an icon on one of
Excel's and Word's toolbars that I KNOW was not in Access.
Copied it from there, brought Access back up, and pasted
it onto an Access toolbar button or into Paint.

Check out this link on downloading and using Face Id
Finder form from Microsoft to access the images:

(Watch out for line wrapping, that link should all be on
one line in your browser)

Here's another link to other office program Face ID Add-
Ins:
