buttons for my application. I have tried everything I know, copy current, tried to use tool bar options etc. and still get a message which states theat you are limited to 8 buttons on a switchboard. |

The switchboard manager has been (generously) described as a complex solution to a simple problem. One of the first transitions made when going from beginner to journeyman in Access is to abandon the switchboard for your own menu form where you have complete control. I suggest that you do that. All you need is an unbound form onto which you start adding CommandButtons that do what you need. In addition to having no arbitrary limit on the number of buttons (at least none small enough as to be noticeable), you can utilize TextBoxes, ComboBoxes, etc., to make the form much more versatile than the ones using the switchboard manager. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to...
