Discussion
You can design one or more command buttons to appear on a form. Command buttons are used to access commonly used functions.
Command buttons are particularly useful because they do not require the database user to know the Microsoft Access menu structure. For example, instead of making the user select Print from the Office menu to print a displayed form, add the Print function to a command button on the form.
Access provides different actions for you to use, which are available in the following categories: Record Navigation , Record Operations , Form Operations , Report Operations , Application , and Miscellaneous .
