Good Day everyone, I am trying to create a form the will
be a cover for my recipes in my recipe database, I have a
form that has buttons going to open certain records that
are for specified food category. I want to create a form
that when you click the button for the food category it
opens a form that lists "Web style Links" to each record
in that category, the user will then choose the recipe and
it will open that specific record, the link is the part I
am struggling with, ideas thoughts???

You mean you want a list that when clicked on will take the user to the
corresponding recipe? How about a continuous form with a text box to show
the recipe name or whatever you are showing, with transparent lines and a
color the same as the background so it will just look like text. You can
use the on mouse over event to change the text color to make it look like a
web page.

The mouse move event. This is triggered everytime the mouse moves over a
control. The control must be enabled or this won't work. This means if
this is the only control on the page, the first entry will be selected.
Create a really small text box somewhere and set its tab stop to 0 so it
will get the focus and not the text box with the name. You will also need
to include code somewhere to move the focus back to this extra text box
everytime or the box with the name will get highlighted.

Kelvin thank you,
How would I make the font color change on the mouse over?
Click to expand...

The event is called MouseMove and belongs to the control. The font color
is controlled by the property ForeColor.

There is no MouseOut; you have to reset the color from the MouseMove of
the form. I suggest you keep a boolean variable to flag whether you've
already reset the color to prevent flicker and/or delay since MouseMove
fires continuously.
