Made My Own Slider
Richard Rost

I really don't like the Slider ActiveX control that comes with Office. It's very limited. It doesn't work right half the time, and it doesn't work in continuous forms. So I decided to make my own using just native access controls.

It's not a slider in the traditional sense that you can click and drag a little slider box, but you can click anywhere in this text box and set the value, in this case from 1 to 10 based on where you click.

Anybody want to see a video on how I did this?

Positively, not sure what I would use it for right now. If I didn't ask and then not watched it I would need it!! Got that lol

I would change the Mouse Pointer for the 'Slider' to an arrow (1) then set it back to the default (0) when the pointer moves away from the field.
