[AccessD] Report Navigation on Custom Toolbar

A.D.:

What happens if I use the pop-up form approach and the user changes the 
report sizing so that it no longer is in "FitToWindow" mode?

I'd like to put the navigation in the custom report toolbar I made but if 
SndKeys won't work then that's a no go.  How do you make a custom button for 
a toolbar anyway?


Thanks and regards,

Rocky
