Command Buttom

Hello Friends,

I am currently building some forms in my ACCESS database (2000). The wierd
thing that has happend is that I seem to remember dropping in a command
button onto the form and a wizard popped up which allowed me to get the
button to point strait to a query without actually having to type the VB code
in the event procedure (and I don't know VB).

Up till now I have been setting up a macro to open the query, then pointing
the command button on the 'on click' event to open the macro since ACCESS
seems to give you a drop down list of all your macros.

I was really happy about this discovery but for some reason now when I drop
in a command button I don't get a wizard I seem to be back to what I was
doing the before; that being having to set up a macro (and add a further step
in as I see it).

Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps when I made this discovery I actually
clicked on something else but the memory seems to escape me.

Hope someone can help.

Cheers!
Angie

Hi Angeline,

You probably inadvertently turned off the control wizard by mistake.
With any form in Design View select to show the Toolbox (View | Toolbox).
Make sure the button called "Control Wizards" is depressed. The button
looks like a little magic wand. Whenever that is depressed the various control
wizards will display and in your case the command button wizard.
 
Speaking of magic wands, you have working your wanders again!
Thanks a million Jeff, it's all sorted now.
