Hi,

I need to customize the sample Contact Management DB (CONTACT) that comes
with MS Access 2000.

(1) I removed the field ‘Region’ in the ‘Company’ table, in the ‘Company’
form, and in the ‘ContactAddress’ query, respectively. Now, when I try to
access the ‘Enter/View Contacts’ form through the Main Switchboard’s button,
it shows a small warning windows asking to ‘Enter Parameter Value’, referring
to "Company.Region." What did I wrong and/or should I do to correct this
problem?

(2) I want to add a couple of command buttons to the Main Switchboard, but I
don’t see the existing buttons in the Design View, so I can’t figure out how
to proceed.

I'll appreciate your help.
 
1. There is a control on the Contacts form that is bound to the now
non-existent field [Region]. Open that form in design mode, and simply
delete that control.

2. You'll need to use the Switchboard Manager to change the look/function
of your switchboard form. That tool is found on the "Tools - Database
Utilities" menu.
