The Switchboard manager is a complicated solution to a quite simple problem... opening forms, reports, etc. You can modify it's appearance by adding pictures, text, etc. but your best bet would be to simply discard it and create your own switchboard using an unbound form with command buttons. If you use the Command button wizard to create the buttons, Access will even write much of the code for you. The resulting switchboard will be much easier to maintain and you will have more control over it's appearance and functionality. Try one as a sample and post back if you need some help with it. No need to delete the existing one until you are satisfied with the new one. -- Fred Please only reply to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal email. |

The Switchboard is just a form like any other form. Open it in design view, and put any labels, lines, boxes, curlicues or whatever you want onto it; just so the buttons aren't disrupted it will still work. John W.
