Creating a Switchboard Form
I need some help creating a swithcboard form. I am still a novice at Access (and for some reason my company is still using Access 97!). I used the switchboard manager to create a fairly basic switchboard. I designated the actions for each switchboard item (i.e. open form in edit mode, open report, etc.) when setting this up. The table was generated, as was a switchboard form, however, the only thing on the form is the title and 8 blank buttons. Do I need to build expressions for each of these or did I not do something correctly? I would have thought that since the actions were specified when using the switchboard manager that this would have been done already.
Thanks, Mark |

Creating a Switchboard Form
Hi Mark,
That's odd. *Sounds* like you did everything right. What is your operating system? Open up the Switchboard Items TABLE. Do you see any records? Can you post a few sample records from the table for us to check? Did you make any modifications to the form's code? Do you receive any error messages? Other things to try: 1. Compile the database 2. Compact the database -- Jeff Conrad Access Junkie Bend, Oregon "Mark G" wrote in message ... I need some help creating a swithcboard form.
