Naming a Switchboard ?

Hi All,
I have a database that when completed ended up with 4
switchboard pages. They are:

Main
Historical Reports
Current Reports
Tools

Each one has 3-4 buttons on it. My users have asked if I
could place a Title on each switchboard page so they know
which page they are on at a glance.

I poked around a bit but did not see any obvious way to do
this. Is this possible and if so can someone help me out ?

TIA,
JCrowe
 
You can open the Property sheet for each form and put the Title in the
Caption property of the form.
 
Is there a way to increase the number of buttons for each switch board menu?

Thanks

I assume you are using the Switchboard made by the Access Switchboard
Manager add-in program.

Yes, you can add additional buttons, but why would you want to?
The functionality of this switchboard is quite limited.

A solution to needing more than the 8 existing buttons would be to use
one of the existing buttons to open a second switchboard form, or a
third form.

The best solution would be to not use the Access Switchboard at all,
but to make your own, using an unbound form with as many command
buttons as needed.
If you use the Command Button wizard, Access will even write much of
the needed code for you. You control the switchboard appearance and
functionality, as well as making future maintenance much, much easier.
