[Solved]Push Button assigned to same function as Next Record

Hi,

I've been trying to make a stand-alone form, which would take data as input and save it to database.
So, to make a clearer GUI for end-user is there a way to make a macro (or any other way) which would assign push button to do same as "Next Record" in the lower tool bar?


Any help is appreciated.

1. You can attach (parts of) a navigation toolbar to the form.
Toolbar "Form COntrols" > [More Controls] > Navigation Bar. Draw it on the form and in the properties you can hide everything but the navigation buttons (first, last, next, prev., new).

2. Draw a button and set its "Action" property.

Thanks for the answers. Just a little question about the second answer:

So does this mean basically assigning a macro with a couple of rows of code?
Is there an example for this or do I need to study BASIC or etc. myself from the guide and get it correct with try and error? (Recording macro didn't help much).


e: Okay, I actually got now what you meant as I don't have the OO language in English so I was mistaken. Thanks for this!
