Have any of you guys played with these? The contract I'm on requires that the product be maintainable by non-developers, engineers who have been to Access classes but aren't fluent in it and don't tweak it on a daily basis. In the past I usually used tab controls and a fairly large amount of code to design the user interface, but that isn't an approach that they would be able to sustain. One problem with Navigation Controls in Access is that there is a wizard that builds a Navigation Form but I don't see any way to use the controls on another form, and the wizard totally ignores Normal form settings and even the Windows Themes setting in options. I built code to set the colors on the Open event of the Navigation Form but you have to use RGB values to set them, and I don't see an easy way to make that modifiable for when I'm gone. Any suggestions? One thing I learned accidentally is that if you set the display size to 125%, you see some odd effects in the navigation control and nav buttons. Those disappear when you fall back to 100%, so apparently the control is for people with normal eyesight! Charlotte
