I set up a switchboard and when i try to run it i get this message, no matter
what froms I have. Any help please
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
' Minimize the database window and initialize the form.

' Move to the switchboard page that is marked as the default.
Me.Filter = "[ItemNumber] = 0 AND [Argument] = 'Default' "
Me.FilterOn = True

End Sub
 
well it is unclear what is right or wrong....but do this for now to clear
this debug message: put a ' in front of the two lines of active code

so it looks like this:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
' Minimize the database window and initialize the form.

' Move to the switchboard page that is marked as the default.
' Me.Filter = "[ItemNumber] = 0 AND [Argument] = 'Default' "
' Me.FilterOn = True

End Sub

this will totally deactivate this - - - it may then reveal other behavior
that you don't want...but for now it will allow you to continue....
 
Thanks for that. It worked. I had tried sucessfully to change True to False
and it worked. My next problem was when following the text book, and
checking all the coding on the Switchboard (Command arguments etc.) Although
3 forms open for editing , the Enter/Edit other Data command to go to
switchboard 2 highlights but does not work. detail below. grateful for help,
as you can see form the headings I am in public healthcare.
