Please could someone explain to me command buttons. I wish to include them in
my form so as to , find record/save record/delete record/add record.

How do I go about validating them and having them work!
 
At the far left of the form edit toolbar, you will see a button with a wand
on it. Press it and then press the "command button" button. Create the button
and then go through the wizard.
 
thanks for your help. Does this mean that when I am ready to go "live" with
the database, these commands should automatically work? I shan't need to do
anything else to them?
 
They should do yes. Go to the "event" tab in the properties of the button.
You will see [event procedure] in the "on click" event. When you enter that
mouse into that line, you will see a "..." at the far right. Click on it and
the VBA screen will open.
 
Ok, I've done that, but not sure what I'm looking at. Is this the text for
the procedure that access reads?
 
Yep! Its called Visual Basic for Access (or VBA for short).

I thought you would like to know just for your benefit.
 
Not to be pickey, but just FYI:

VBA stands for Visual Basic For Applications. This is the programming
language that is used in all of the Office suite as well as other
applications. It is a sub set of VB. It provides the capability for "Office
Automation" and other programming capabilities.
