Add a button in Access

[margot]

Hello, I have created a button that adds data to a table. However I would like that when I press the button a message appear saying that data was updated. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

In the code behind your button

[CODE=vb] Msgbox "Data has been updated!"
[/CODE]

Thank you, but I created the button using the macro builder. So how can I add this feature? Thank you

I would also put this inside an Onerror event to ensure nothing went wrong with the update otherwise the user might think everything did get updated when it didn't.

Thank you, I was able to do it through micro builder. However how can I clear all the fields after the data was updated.
Thank you in advance.

Just click on the little button to the right of the Onclick-Event under properties. This will bring up the Macro builder.

Then add a line in and chose MsgBox under Actions and add "Data Updated" in the Message argument at the bottom of the screen.

The problem with doing it there and leaving the default error trapping like Access has it is that if you get an error the message will still pop up.

Best bet is to program it yourself but that is just my opinion.

Thank you, through the macro builder can I have a clear option that after the data is updated the fields will be clear?

If this is a bound form, the way to "clear all the fields" is to move to a new record.
