Is it possible to auto run an access switchboard program 2007 version? I
tried but I it seems as if it's not possible. Thanks

You can designate a form (a switchboard form or any other form) to be opened
when your application starts, by clicking the Office button, selecting
Access Options, then Current Database, and selecting your form from the
Display Form combo box. However, because of the way that Access 2007
disables executable content in an app that is not placed in a trusted
location or signed by a trusted publisher, it is safer to use an AutoExec
macro that first checks the CurrentProject.IsTrusted property, and uses the
result to determine which form to open. See the Access 2007 version of
Northwind (downloadable from Microsoft's Web site) for an example.

thank you so much brendan, I could not believe that it was that easy! Thanks!
Brenden, thank you So much for posting these instructions.. It worked Perfectly.. I'm a user of older Access applications and was having the most horrible time figuring out how to make these functions work. In the older applications it was very basic, but Microsoft switched things around in many of their applications. It's really a pain, ya know
Thanks again your note helped tremendously.
