mouse data entry

Surely theres a way to enter numbers into a form using the mouse ?
Do I need to write a control for this? I smiply want to have the numbers as
buttons and click on them to enter a number into the recird of the table on
which the form is based.

Hi threni,
is this for a password?
I'm not aware of a way to do this without writing code.
I have seen something like this for a password field on applications on the
internet, but not in an app written with Access.
It would be easier for you if users typed the numbers instead of clicking
buttons - I suppose you have a very good reason for using buttons instead of
the keyboard.

Yes, I just want to use the mouse; everything else on the form can be
entered mousewise and its a bother to use the keyboard for this one control.

Click to expand...

You could use an Option Group with ten buttons labeled - and defined as - the
integers 0 through 9. Use its AfterUpdate event to detect which was clicked
and build up a larger number if needed.
