MS Access buttons

Not sure if I asked this before. Any MS expert can tell me how to have more than 8 buttons on the form?

I am a idoit on programming.

I haven't had a problem with limits.
Are you getting errors when you try to add a 9th button?

btw, I'm making no claims to 'expert' status.

Yes, the manager only will add up to 8 buttons. Check on help and the internet community confirms that more buttons requires C language and those "forums" and copycats posted the same "solution" which doesn't work (at least for me). I posted back with a question and no answers.

I guess that shows my non-expert status. I don't even know what the "manager" is.

Are you taking about buttons on the form itself, or on the menu bar?

manager is the switchboard manager.

I'm only up to MS Access 97.

I have Office XP but I haven't felt the need to install it.
