Navigation Buttons
Jim Baldner

I know Rich has some video to add nav buttons to a form.  I will use this as a backup to Plan "A".  What I'd really like to do is change the Access supplied Nav buttons (botton right of form) from next to previous, and vise versa.  Here's my logic:  I have a form with the order set to Date descending. So the most current record is now the first record.  In my logic, the buttons are now opposite of how I wish to navigate through the records. For example, the next button now takes you to an older dated record, and the previous button takes to a newer record. Clear as mud?

Hi Kev, Although I have replicated the entire Navbar previously, and may have to settle for doing the same again. I would prefer to use the native bar that Access provides.  Have you ever heard of a means to modify its properties?

You usually are very limited in changing the actual setup of properties with navigation bars/record selectors and other access-built properties. Luckily you have the open to make you own (better) versions that can perform the same native commands.

To my knowledge, there is no way to change how that bar works with the buttons. If there is a way, I would think it would be pretty hard to do, at least compared to making your own.

Hi Jim. To answer your question: "Have you ever heard of a means to modify its properties?"

Answer: nope.
