Replacing side record selector with image

[Eric Blitzer]

Can I replace the grey square side record selector on a
datasheet with an image? This is driving my data on other
forms. I would like to make it more obvious to the user to
click it.

Thanks

I often provide a button to "open" a detail form. You can't use this idea to
"replace" the recordselector, but it can be of use.

Here is some screen shots of what I mean:

Eric,
I don't believe there's any way to assign a bitmap to the Access
"built-in" Record Selectors. However, you can set the RecordSelectors
property = NO, and create your own button and place it where the record
selectors usually go. Then, you can use any bitmap you want.

I gurss I am a little confused. Since my form is a
datasheet how do I add a button. I like the glasses you
use in your screenshot.

Thanks

How do you add a button when the form is in datasheet mode?

thanks

You can't use datasheet mode, but have to use continues form mode. (they can
be make to look the same...or even better in my opinion!).

So, you need to use continues form.
