[AccessD] Create/Hide Buttons on Form?

Hi Mark,

I've done something similar on a continuous form.  However, I use a textbox
masquerading as a button to create the effect of a button.  (Solid
background, Raised, Locked, etc.) The field the button is bound to would be
your menu items, and the click event behind the control initiates the next
steps.

The only drawback to this is that the mouse cursor turns to an 'I' cursor
when it's over a textbox.  Maybe someone knows a way out of that.

You might be able to use a label with its caption being set to the menu item
field when the form opens.

Best of Luck!
Dan

Subject: [AccessD] Create/Hide Buttons on Form?

Hello All,

I'm attempting an app related to restaurant/bar management in A2K.  The 
dilemma I have is in design.  I want them to have the ability to add new 
products/seats...but I'm not sure the best way to approach this.  For 
instance...if they add a new menu item...I want a new button to appear.  
Should I make a predetermined number of buttons and hide them or should I 
program the app to create and place a new button when the new value is added

( if this, suggestions?)

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte
