Bill and John,
Thank You for the suggestions. I tried John's and it worked. I have used the tag property before and forgot about it.

Jim-
An expression like (ctrl.Tag = "ShowMe") is a logical expression that returns True or False. So, if the Tag property of the control says "ShowMe", then the Visible property of the control will be set to True.
The one problem I see with Bill's example is ALL controls that you want to appear must have ShowMe in the Tag property. I would test the Tag for a value that tells the code this is one of the show/hide buttons. Perhaps:
For Each ctrl In Me.Detail.Controls
If ctrl.Tag = "ButtonShowHide" Then
ctrl.Visible = True
End If
Next ctrl
The above code changes the visible property ONLY for controls that have that tag value. You could use a similar technique in the code to re-hide the buttons.

Thank You Bill, But I also have a button that appears to allow me to hide the buttons. How could I use it to hide the buttons? I do not see any reference to visible = true or false

I usually use the .Tag property for grouping controls.The .Tag property is just a string that you can use as an identifier for lots of things. And using For Each loops lets you do it without knowing the count.
Dim ctrl As Control
For each ctrl in me.Detail.Controls
Ctrl.Visible = (ctrl.Tag = "ShowMe")
Next
You can even go one step further and use a delimiter and break the tag into an array.
'Here the tags are strings like "ShowMe|Delete" or "ShowMe|Update"
Dim ctrl As Control
Dim aryList As Variant
aryList = Split(ctrl.Tag, "|")
For each ctrl in me.Detail.Controls
Ctrl.Visible = (aryList(0) = "ShowMe")
Ctrl.Caption = aryList(1)
Next

Hello all,
I am struggling with a vba question.
I have a form that has multiple buttons that are hidden by default. With the click of a button the buttons are made visible. There are 21 of them. I have learned about For Next and declaring a variable, but I am trying to take it a step further. Currently I have the code to list every button name and the visible property to true when the user clicks the main button. But I see that listing every button name is a lot of typing. For aesthetics I have the button and a smaller button with an arrow on it next to it. The smaller buttons have a name of cmdArrowDelete1 down to 21.
The code right now is below and it works great. But I would like to add the other buttons to the code. I have the names with names such as cmdDelete1Accounts and cmdDelete2Accruals.
How can I add the buttons to the For next so they will appear like the other buttons?
Thank You
Jim Wagner
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 21
Me("cmdArrowDelete" & i).Visible = True
Next
