How can I increase the size of the record navigation bars on a form and at
the bottom of a datasheet?

Mine are so small I am almost unable to read them. Eyes are getting old.

Thank you.

You can'tmake them bigger on a datasheet, nor on a form.

On a form though, you can use regular command buttons instead.
Set the Navigation button property to No.

Add 5 new command buttons where ever you want them.
These you can make a large as you wish.
Use the Command button wizard for Record Operation and Record
Navigation to Move to Next Record, Previous Record, First Record, Last
record, and New Record as applicable.

They can't be changed - but you can put Command Buttons on the form to
do the same function, and make them as big as necessary. There is a
sample application to do this in the Access <version> Developer's
Handbook, which greys out the Next or Previous button if there is no
record to go to, etc.

Now where did I leave my 2.5 diopter reading glasses... grump...

Dear Mike:

Just to add to the excellent advice you've been given, you might be
interested in Stephen Leban's custom navigation button solution, located
here:

It gives you a complete, pre-built set of navigation buttons you can just
drop onto your form.
