Multiple Switchboards

Hello,

We have a database that opens to a main switchboard.
This switchboard has buttons for other switchboards. I
need all 8 options for each switchboard (for reports).
Is there a button I could put on each switchboard that
would "go back" one switchboard (without having to use
one of the 8 options)? I tried a macro that would open
the main switchboard, but it's not working.

I'm using Access 2002.

Thank you for all your help!

Make your own switchboards using unbound forms.
You can place as many command buttons on each as
you want. If you add the command buttons using the
wizard, Access will even do the coding for you.
You'll find you have more control over the appearance
and functionality of the switchboards. Maintenance
will also be much simpler.
I don't know of anyone who prefers the built in Access
switchboard over the custom designed form.

By the way, it is possible to have more than 8 buttons
on the Access built-in switchboard.
It involves adding more command buttons,
changing some of the code behind the switchboard,
and then manually coding the switchboard table.
In my opinion, the gain isn't worth the pain.
If you want to try this, search

Access Switchboard + add button
Good luck.
