I Have a form titled switchbord that has buttons leading to forms for
inputting data. I would like to ste up a button for printing the forms the
would lead to another switchboard that has the options to print which report.
I was wondering how I could do this without making a new form, but have more
of a sub form type thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Donbenz
 
If you used the built in switchboard, then the "switchboard manager" will
help you make changes. It is under Tools/Database Utilities/Switchboard
Manager.
 
Are you using the built in switchboard, or did you design a form yourself?
If you are using the switchboard, then you use the Switchboard Manager to
modify your switchboard. You'd pick the "page" or "switchboard" you want to
add a button to and click the "Edit" button. Then you'd click the "new"
button and define what you want the new item to do. In your example, you'd
probably want it to open a new switchboard called reports.

Most of us don't use the built-in switchboard because of the many
limitations. I do have one very simple database that I used it for because
the structure of my database will most likely never change. I have a main
switchboard with three buttons on it: Data Entry, Maintenance, and Reports.
I also have an "Exit" button. Each of the first three buttons opens a new
page on my switchboard with buttons to accomplish certain tasks. My
"reports" page list three reports that can be run, for example.

I really don't know how to be more specific. If you are not using the
built-in switchboard, then you would have to tell us how you built your
current "menu".
 
I am using the manager now and i am wondering how to get it to come up so i
can click the buttons
 
If you created a switchboard and you want it to "come up" then simply
double-click the form in the forms tab of your database.

If the form is up, then click the buttons. If you can't then explain why
not.

I am giving you very detailed answers, but you are responding with short
non-descript posts. Please take the time to respond with exactly what you
are doing and what you want to accomplish.
