Forms - radio buttons

A

Annie

How can I create a main menu: form that has buttons that open other forms? I
am trying to use =OpenForms("x TPC Contacts"). The name of the form to be
opened is: x TCP Contacts. What switches, links need to be turned on in
properties?

Thanks

OpenForm is a method of the DoCmd object and must be used in
a VBA procedure (or in a macro - yuck). If you create a
button using the button wizard, it will create a simple VBA
procedure for you.

Good stuff :)

How do I access the button wizard frow inside the form I am trying to create
as the main menu?

Or said differently, how would you modify a form to have a radio button.

Open the form in design view. Make sure the magic wand
button is selected (in the tool box toolbar). Then click on
the tool box button tool. When you then click on a blank
area of the form, the wizard popup appears and you can
select the open a form wizard.

I hove no idea how this relates to a radio button, but you
can create one on the form by clicking on the radio button
tool in the tool box toolbar and then clicking on a blank
area of the form where you want the button to be placed. If
it's not exactly where you want it, just drag it to the
right place.
