I have forms with multiple rowsets, and when I switch (usually on a notebook component) to a different rowset, I can change the rowset referenced by form.rowset, and not have to alter any of the code used by the pushbuttons. Of course, the code for those buttons is quite generic, it's navigation/edit/append/save/etc. But by having them set to use form.rowset, you can save yourself a lot of hassle.
