ACC: Cannot Choose Custom Bitmap for Toolbar Button

ID: Q112135

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

You cannot add user-designed bitmaps to toolbar buttons in Microsoft Access. Instead, you can only use the 84 predefined bitmaps that are included with Microsoft Access.


STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0. You can now edit button images as you can in other Microsoft Office applications.


MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


  1. From the View menu, choose Toolbars.


  2. Choose the Customize button.


  3. Click the secondary mouse button on the button in the toolbar whose bitmap you want to change.


  4. Choose the Choose Button Face command.


You must select a bitmap from the 84 predefined bitmaps; you cannot choose your own custom bitmap.
