Hello, How would I put a button on my database and hae that button open a
form on another database in the same folder?

Thanks!

From another database? Not sure that you can. The button wizard will let
you open a form in your current database. That form could use linked tables
from other databases. In other words, the forms in your front end could
pull from tables in other databases to provide you with one consolidated
front-end interface for your users.

I figured it out. I just made a button and went into its properties and
selected hyperlink. It worked fine....
