adding navigational buttons to a form in datasheet view.

I'm creating two forms with navigational buttons to move inbetween the two of
them. One form is Columnar, and the other is in Datasheet. The button shows
up on the first form, but unfortunately I can't get the button to show up on
the form that is in datasheet view. Can anyone tell me how?

You can't! With a datasheet form you get what Access gives you; data fields
in rows! You can do all you want in Design View, add command buttons, labels,
comboboxes, etc, format fields with color and so forth, but they're not going
to show up when the form is run!

The best you can do is make your form a Continuous form and format it to look
like a datasheet form, then you can add things to it. If you only want one
button, rather than one in each record, put it in the header.
