How do I create and control custom toolbars in Access 2000?

I currently have a set of forms that use a common set of command buttons in
the form footer. These command buttons are customized to my application
(i.e. there is a procedure written for each type of command to execute). It
is distracting to the users to have these "controls" on the bottom of the
form because they often need to scroll to get them in view, depending on
user's screen resolution.

To resolve this, I think it makes sense to build a custom toolbar that
contains all these various command buttons. I need to enable and disable
them programmatically, similar to what I already do with the command buttons
in the footer.

I imagine someone else has encountered this problem. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
 
Hi.

You may be interested in the step-by-step tutorial on adding a custom button
to the menu bar, which includes a sample database that contains source code
for user-defined functions. Please see the "How to add a custom button on
the command bar to run code on a form" tutorial on this Web page:

It sounds like you added the command buttons to the page
footer instead of the form footer. The form footer is
always in view. check View form footer in forms design.
