Default Datasheet form question

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with a form I've created in datasheet
view. When I open the form through the 'forms' tab it
works fine and displays all records in a 'table' way, but
when I open the same form through the switchboard, it will
not display the same way. I am able to get all records to
show in the form when I open it through the switchboard by
changing the form properties (changing 'Default View' to
'Continuos Views') but it's still not what I'd like to
achieve. I've also tried changing the switchboard
properties from both "Open Form In Add Mode" and "Open Form
In Edit Mode" but neither seem to work. If anyone could
offer any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Default Datasheet form question

For anyone else who might be having the same problem, I'm
posting my solution that I just thought of (though it's
actually very simple -- I still can't figure out why I
didn't think of it earlier).

To ensure that any form which was created as a "datasheet"
form opens in "datasheet" view in the switchboard utility
(instead of just showing one record at a time) write a
macro that will open the form. Be sure that when you
select "OpenForm" you change the "view" property down below
to "Datasheet". Then, when you create a Switchboard Item
select "Run Macro" instead of "Open Form in...", this will
open the form properly in datasheet view.
