Menu subform

[Guest]

I am contemplating of creating a menu-type form with several command buttons
to perfrom navagational and housekeeping functions. I was thinking of
incorporating this menu as a subform on other forms but not sure how to code
the command buttons so the same action is performed no matter what form calls
it.

maybe it isn't such a good idea after all.

This example might help you get there:

IMHO, the the toolbar buttons (for undo, delete, filter, find, etc) and
built-in navigation buttons are the simplest and most reliable approach. A
custom toolbar that includes the nav buttons and a Save Record button is
dead easy to create (Ctrl+Drag from other toolbars).
