Bitmap and Caption in Command Button

[SeRene]

Hi,

I got this tip frm Access Help! --> Tip To create a
command button or toggle button with a caption and a
picture, you could include the desired caption as part of
the bitmap and assign the bitmap to the Picture property
of the control.


Any idea how i can include the desired caption as part of
the bitmap?? Thanks!

You will not be able to do this within Access itself. The
tip is saying you need to create a bitmap with a program
like Microsoft Paint.

Open Paint and make a small graphic bitmap with what you
would like to see as a graphic. Add in some very small
text and then save the file as a bitmap. You can be as
elegant or as simple as you want in the design.

Then open your form in Design View and right click on the
command button. Go to the Properties menu and click the
(...) button on the line that says "Picture." On the next
screen you'll see a Browse button where you can browse to
the location of this saved bitmap. You will then have a
command button that has a small picture and some text.
