Image and Text on Command Button

[Guest]

Hi,

I would like to display command buttons on my main menu form with both an
image and text on each button (similar to VB).

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

It is possible but not with the default installation of
Access. You will require an ActiveX control - either
bought from a third party, given away on some helpful
site, or created in-house with Visual Basic/C++

The ActiveX control that's downloadable from Free VB Code
(http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=1871) will be
what you require.

Hi Dave,

You can't add an image to a standard button and display text but you can
create an image with the text you require and display that instead. (This is
what I usually do)

Open up your favourite Paint program. Create a Bitmap containing the
desired background Image overlayed with the desired Text. Save to a file
and then load this into your Command Button control's Picture property.
