SYMPTOMS

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.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


  1. From the View menu, choose Toolbars.
  2. Choose the Customize button.
