Jun 7, 2005

I was wondering if there is a way to dock the Switchboard at the top of the screen so that it is always there and easy to switch between differernt screens without having to close everything to get back to the switchboard?

Linking From Switchboard To Switchboard On Two Or More Databases

Nov 21, 2006

I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.

I have the original database with the name of "Cell MFG Screen" that contains a switchboard. I am now creating a db to keep track of manufacturing waste (which will also be on the same server when completed). That switchboard is called "Cell Waste Weight". Again, I want to keep these db's separated from one another as well being able to add future dbs. Now, what my plan is to make up a one db that consists of only a switchboard that will be used as the main switchboard to be able to navigate to other dbs that are located on the server.

Does anyone know how this is done?

Thank you in advance for your help,

All,

I have created a new switchboard but don't know where it is. When I create it using the Switchboard Manager and then click close, it doesn't appear under any of the options. I have also set is as default but it fails to appear on startup.

Silly question I know. Any ideas?

Many Thanks

Help With Switchboard

Jan 31, 2006

Brief Summary,

I have limited experience in Access but have a bit more understanding of databases and tables. I am helping a friend create and access database to track the time his employees spend on different job sites. i am using a template from Microsoft called "Time and Billing" I am going to be manipulating the structure a bit but other than that the template should work fine.

My main struggle is I need to have a screen that the employees access that takes them straight to add / edit a time sheet. i want the rest of the data, reports, views to be password protected. Ideally the switchboard would load up to a page that had a button from employees to click on where they would be taken to the form and a button the owner could click on, enter a password, and be taken into the back-end where the main switch board and the rest of the data resides.

If anyone can help me out that would be great. Oh yeah, The Access database in is Access 2000 being used on a machine running XP Pro.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi

Can anyone tell me what the advantage (or difference) is in using a switchboard rather than just creating your own form and using command buttons etc?

Thanks

When I make a switchboard is there any way you can go to a table? or can you just go to a form or query? and when you make a switchboard and you have a button going to the form how can you go from the form back to the switchboard?

Mar 17, 2005

I think this is a simple request for those who know.

I want to display my switchboard to a user group, (read and update ).

The switchboard needs to be full screen and have no means of being minimsed or close, except by the exit button (obviously) on the switchboard.I also do not want to show any of the tool bar icons as well.

I want to retain it as it is now to me as 'admin' when I log in, that is with the ability to minimise and close etc.and all icons

How do I achieve this?

Switchboard Help

Jul 7, 2005

I would like to know if there's a way of adding a switchboard page that goes to a table instead of only forms and reports and such? Because I have subdatasheets that I would like to see when I click on a button from the switchboard, instead of just simply going to a form and not being able to work as easy as it would be to work with a table that displays the subdatasheet right there.

Thank you,

Charlie

I have copies of a split database (front end) placed on each employee’s computer, and I noticed my switchboard screen does not appear when the employee opens the database on their computer. I went through a lot of work designing the switchboard and would like to have it appear upon opening the DB. I know everything in the database is linked so there is no reason the switchboard should not appear. Any suggestions on how to make this happen?

In addition, I have pictures on the switchboard buttons, and I also noticed when I go to the second screen, the buttons on the second switchboard screen uses the same pictures as the default screen. Is there a way to not have it do that?

Thanks.

Feb 28, 2005

I have created a very simple switchboard with a few macro's to run either a form to add new records or a report based on a query.

Thing is, when I try to open the switchboard, I get a module error...

Since I'm really just using trial and error to create this entire database for a schoolproject, I don't know that much about access.

Anyone here able to help me out?
If more info is needed to answer the question, plz let me know so I can try to provide it...

Thx in advance,

My Switchboard Won't Exit!

Jun 27, 2005

I've created a new database using the standard Switchboard function. However, when I use the Exit Application command the database closes but MS Access stays open. It's a minor problem but infuriating, especially as I've never encountered this problem before and everything I try won't fix it. Any ideas?
