In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to create dynamic forms with big buttons for data entry, replacing cascading combo and list boxes. We will also explore utilizing VBA code to enable button controls on the fly, ideal for touchscreen applications in environments like greasy workshops.
Adam from Fort Dodge, Iowa (a Platinum Member, Moderator, Badge Geek) asks: Have you covered creating button controls on the fly anywhere? Can Access even do that? I need to select the year, make, and model of a vehicle. I agree cascading combo boxes or list boxes would be so much simpler, but for the people that would be using this with tablets and touch screens, they are not as friendly as buttons I've found. Especially covered in grease. LOL.
