(Q) I'm using my own Navigation Buttons for my forms
and have set the same property of the form to False. How
can I duplicate "Record x of y" label that appears in the
standard Navigation toolbar?

(A) Given that you have a label on the form called
lblNavigate, put this code
in the form's OnCurrent Event.


Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.NewRecord Then
Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "New Record"
Else
With Me.RecordsetClone
.Bookmark = Me.Bookmark
Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "Record " & _
.CurrentRecord _
& " of " & .RecordCount
End With
End If
End Sub
 
Vince,

Instead of this:
Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "Record " & _
.CurrentRecord _
& " of " & .RecordCount
Click to expand...

try this:

"Record " & Me.CurrentRecord & _
" of " & Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount

You need to use the Form's CurrentRecord property to get the current record
number.

hth,
 
Here's a set of customised Nav Buttons ready to go:

RecordNavigationButtons is an MDB containing code to replace the
standard Navigation Buttons. The custom buttons exactly emulate the
standard navigation bar including the autorepeat property.

Hi Cheryl,

"Record " & Me.CurrentRecord & _
" of " & Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount

I copied and pasted this into the forms OnCurrent Event
and it is all red? Sorry I am a Novice at coding?

Will this output the record count to my lblnavigation
textbox?

Thanks
Vince
 
I could have done that better. Make it:

Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "Record " & Me.CurrentRecord & _
" of " & Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount
 
Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for the update but I put in your code into the
forms OnCurrent event....

Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "Record " & Me.CurrentRecord &
_
" of " & Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount

I received "RUN-TIME error '438' Object doesn't support
this property or method" error message.

Please and many thank you's!

Vince

Hmmm. Works fine for me. Would you please post all of the code that you
are using in the OnCurrent event of the form.
 
Realy?

I have nothing in OnCurrent I must be doing something
wrong....but the minute I paste the code in it turns RED?

thanks....
 
Vince,
I have nothing in OnCurrent

We started out with this code in the On Current event of your form:

If Me.NewRecord Then
Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "New Record"
Else
With Me.RecordsetClone
.Bookmark = Me.Bookmark
Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "Record " & _
.CurrentRecord _
& " of " & .RecordCount
End With
End If

I suggested that you comment out one piece of the code and replace it with
another. Your code in the On Current event of the form should now look like
this:

If Me.NewRecord Then
Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "New Record"
Else
With Me.RecordsetClone
.Bookmark = Me.Bookmark
' Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "Record " & _
' .CurrentRecord _
' & " of " & .RecordCount
Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "Record " & Me.CurrentRecord & " of " &
Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount
End With
End If

or this:

If Me.NewRecord Then
Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "New Record"
Else
With Me.RecordsetClone
.Bookmark = Me.Bookmark
' Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "Record " & _
' .CurrentRecord _
' & " of " & .RecordCount
Me!lblNavigate.Caption = "Record " & Me.CurrentRecord & " of " &
..RecordCount
End With
End If

When code is copied from a newsgroup posting and dropped into the VB editor,
it often appears red because the news reader has wrapped or broken a line in
such a manner as to make it unacceptable in the VB editor. You may have to
edit such code to correct these line breaks.
