This property determines how and if prompt button objects are added to a form.
| Constant | Meaning |
|---|---|
| PB_PromptOff | The prompt button object is not displayed. |
| PB_PromptOn | The prompt button object is displayed and the message prompt is sent when the button is pressed. |
| PB_PromptAuto | The prompt button object is displayed automatically if a prompt object exists. This is determined at run time. If the prompt_object property is non-zero, a prompt button is displayed. This is the default value for the dbForm class. |
Note that the status of the prompt can be changed at any time. The following example, when added below the Entry_Item code of a dbForm, would toggle the prompt button on and off.
