Ok, quick question.
I am using a switchboard to open my main form, 'frmJobLog'. This main form has a tab control with four tabs. How do open the form to the 4th tab using a command button on the switchboard?
Thanks in advance.
Just curious. I'm trying to set up a switchboard to guide users to the right place in my database. I would like to have one button on the switchboard to open a standard form with all the infomation in it already. and then I would like to have a button to open a form that is blank and then adds to the previous form I mentioned.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I would like to have the Switchboard I created open when the database is selected. I used Tools/Startup to set this up. It works to a point. The database window opens and THEN the Switchboard opens (on top of the database window). There are some who I wish not to see the database navigation window). Also, is it possible to OPEN the switchboard again when a Form is closed?

I have a combo box on my switchboard that looks up field txtOfficer in a query and then want it to open up a new form containing only those records relating to the officer name selectedtxtOfficer
The rowsource for the combo is:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [qryMain].[txtName] FROM [qryMain];
and the on click event is:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmFiltered", , , "[txtName] = " & Me.cmbOfficer.Column(0), acFormEdit
When I select a name from the combo I get a parameter box and have to type in the name to open up the filtered records form. How can I get rid of it so the selection is one seamless process? :confused:
Is there i way so that when you open up your database you can get your Switchboard to open up??? is there a simple box to click to make it do this that i am missing or is it some VB code?
Help please thanks alot

i'm creating a database which has several switchboards. i have several tables, each saved in the same format with the table name representing the date of the report, for example table 1 is saved as 100204(Oct 2, 2004), and table 2 is 100904, so on and so forth. I have a text box which a user needs to enter the date of the report they want to look at and i need to be able to open the desired table by date entered. I've had a couple of vb classes but haven't used it in a while. can anyone help? thx in advance.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
Does anyone know if I can just show the switchboard only so that it looks like a program, or if I can use an existing MDB to create an .exe??
Please help!
I've done a search of the forums, the results of which have more-or-less caused me to understand (roughly) what the problem might be and how to locate the code which is causing it. Sadly, I am a bit of a Visual Basic virgin, and I am reluctant to wade right in because if I screw up this database I'll have decimated my company's advertising and marketing strategy (mailouts!).
I was trying to make a command button on a switchboard (which I have done before, but not recently) -- and was taking a bit of a trial-and-error approach. I wanted the button to result in the previewing of a set of mailing labels (which the user would susbsequently print after reviewing). One of my first attempts resulted in the button automatically printing, so I "cut" it, and several close-but-no-cigar attempts follwed, all of which I used the "cut" command to dispose of. The last attempt I made resulted in the following message:
"The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Ambiguous name detected: Bulletin_Board_labels_Click.
-The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
-There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro."
I "cut" the button I had just created and thought that might fix it. It didn't. I still got the above message whenever I tried to open either this switchboard or the main switchboard. I tried closing down Access and restarting it. Same message, same problem.
Below is the code from the switchboard in question -- the last few entries are the relevant ones: anything to do with "bulletin board" is stuff I was working on. As far as I can tell there are currently no duplicate queries, reports, macros, etc, named "Bulletin Board Labels" (theres is one query named "Bulletin Board Query", and one report named "Bulletin Board Mailout labels", and that's it.)
The code for the switchboard follows...
Please help me resolve this problem?

I am using Access 2007. I have had an application running now for about 1 year and now getting an error when user opens the database. (Have one for front end and one db for backend)
Here's the error message:The form name Switchboard is misspelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist.Also, multiple users are accessing the database at the same time.
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,

Hi, I am creating a database and was wondering how I can hide items that are on a switchboard based on username or the workgroup that the user is in. I have five items on my switchboard and I dont want some users to be able to see the fifth item when the log on but when the admin logs on he should be able to see everything that is on the switchboard. Also how would you be able to open a form in add mode so that the previous data that was added isnt shown. thanks
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have successfuly made a switchboard that links to a form and pulls the data accurately. I made a smaller database here and now when I pull up the form it does not contain the data that is in the table. If I enter new data in the form it saves but when I close the form it will not come back in the form later. It just stays in the table. How do I get the data to stay in both places 100 percent of the time.
Are there any tricks to showing all the data better in the forms so people dont half to click through data with buttons at the bottom for info?
I have created a form with all the buttons that I need and the have designed it way that I want. I have chosen to have it open upon startup. However, It is not maximized. How can I get it to resize to the windows max?
thanks.
I have the switchboard form in a database but need more items in the switchboard then is allowed.
Does anyone know how to change the number of allowed items on a switchboard.

I have made two main menus, one for admin and one for users, I want to turn these into switchboards. When you open a form asking you to log in opens if you supply the right password it opens another form depending on your access rights depends which menu it opens, it all works perfectly but I want a home button, i.e. close all open forms, which would close the main menu, so I need to turn the main menus into switchboards, I have tried searching this place and I have also tried google although I may aswell have stuck my head out an open window and shouted for help!
Any way any help much appreciated

Hi there
I've been playing around with creating a switchboard. At first, I saw a form appear in the forms area called switchboard. but now it's gone. I have a switchboard marked as Default under Switchboard Manager, I can see that a table has been created called Switchboard Items, but it won't open on startup. (obviously, because there isn't a form which I can point to in the startup box)
Any idea why the switchboard form is not being created?
Thanks

:( I am using a switchboard in my database, I have 3 forms using the same query,formats,etc but the 2 of 3 have filters. My question is how can I filter the form when I click a button in the Switchboard.
I tried to do
docmd.applyfilter
but when the form is open nothing happens.
And I also use the Form_Switchboard!Itemnumber = 2 but the only number it can see is with 0 value.
Please help me. I just don't know how to catch the field from Switchboard. Please help. Thank you so much.
Have a question on the switchboard choices I've always wondered about. Why are there only "Add" and "Edit" modes to open a form from the switchboard? I see many, many times when you want to allow a form to be opened in "readonly" mode to page through records but not allow edits or additions. Why does Access NOT have "Readonly" as an option?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI accidently deleted the switchboard form from an Access database. The switchboard manager is still there as is the Switchboard table. Can anybody advise me on how to get the switchboard form back, please?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have designed a form which I want the users to see in Datasheet form.
In the properties, "Default view" is "datasheet" and "Views Allowed" is "datasheet"
When I open it directly, it opens as a datasheet.
But when the Switchboard opens it, it comes up as a Single Form. Infuriating !
What to do ?

Apologies if I am covering old ground here but unfortunately I cannot find a suitable solution after searching the forum.
Basically my switchboard on Open includes DoCmd.Maximize so that the switchboard does indeed open on full screen. However, say I then leave my database open and work on a different application on my PC then when I click on my database on the taskbar then the form is not longer full screen.
So what I am basically asking is, is there a way of 'locking' it to appear full screen even if I flick between applications on my PC?
Many thanks in advance,
Paul.
I have developed a project in Access 2003 and it works absolutely fine. There is a switchboard form too and that works fine as well. But now in our company we are moving all the projects developed in 2003 to 2010. And so I have noticed the switchboard form doesn't work in Access 2010 the way it works in 2003. The Switchboard form doesn't display all the options in 2010.
