So you want to add a button to a form in Access 2007 and when the user clicks it it should open a message box that says "Hello, thank you for clicking me." or so. That's the idea?
Two things are still unclear in what you did:
- You already setup the message box with the 'create msgbox' option. That's Greek to me. Please provide a link to a some instruction on the Internet about this.
- You customised the Quick Access toolbar. That shouldn't be necessary. In Design view for a form all options to add form controls (like label, a check box in image, a command button) should be present and draggable.
So you should be able to put the button on the form by dragging that control. That's the first step. If the 'Use Control Wizards' is selected, the wizard takes over and asks you the details for that control (that button in your case). If the wizard isn't selected, it doesn't pop up and you have to configure the button you created yourself by editing its properties. There's no magic involved.
The definition of a 'command button': A button that, when clicked, executes a macro or other set of instructions linked to the button. Your configuring the button means you:
(a) set the text and font and color etc
(b) set the 'click event', that's the name of the macro or the 'other set of instructions' (that's an event procedure, writting in a programming language called VBA) that should be executed when it's clicked. A macro suffices for you, probably.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/access-help/create-or-modify-a-command-button-HP005187752.aspx tells more. It includes a possible explanation of the wizard not running, how to do what you want with the wizard and how to do it without it.
Hope this helps.
