Command Button in Datasheet View

M

Michael

Hi Folks - I'd like to display a list of records in datasheet view. One of
the fields is a checkbox. I'd like users to select the records to print,
then click a command button that runs a report. I thought a form in
datasheet view with a command button in the form header would easily
accomplish this task. However, it looks like a form in datasheet view cannot
display a command button. Do you have any workarounds? Thanks.

Change Datasheet to Continuous Forms. Put the field labels in the form header
above the field's textbox, put all textboxes at the top of the detail section,
make all textboxes the same height, change the height of the detail section
to the height of the textboxes. BAM, you're done! Gives the appearance of
datasheet, but allows use of form header/footer.
