Default Open form from different database

Is it possible to open a form in a second database from
switchboard in primary database? I tried importing tables
and forms from second database but, after compact and
repair get many error messages. Databases work fine
separately so if I can open form from switchboard all
should be well. Thanks

What you request is not possible in Access. Each running Access window can
only have one MDB open (though you CAN link to tables in many mdb's.) The
errors you're getting are probably due to broken references and/or missing
query record sources (both of which are fixable).

Thanks for the information. I will take another look at the
combined databases. Eb1mom
