Is it possible to have more than 1 design form for the switchboard? I
recently combined 2 databases in which each had their own designed
Switchboard.

I would like to be able to distinguish the 2 databases rather than having to
use one or the other. Each had different color backgrounds
 
If you are talking about the Switchboards created by the inbuilt Switchboard
Manager, then no since the Switchboard Manager uses only a single Form AFAIK
and simply changes the Label captions on this Form to show different
"switchboards".

Assuming that the OP didn't anticipate wanting to make any changes to
one of the Switchboards, he could rename both it ([Switchboard]) and
the Table it is based on ([Switchboard Items]) to something sensible
and change the two references to [Switchboard Items] in the code
behind the renamed [Switchboard] Form to refer to the renamed Table.
The two Switchboards would then operate happily and independently.
_However_, only the one with the original name and Table will be
"editable" by means of the Access Switchboard Manager; any changes to
the other will only be possible by editing its master Table.

Please respond to the Newsgroup, so that others may benefit from the exchange.
