I have a switchboard which has actions for the database it resides in i.e open form, open report etc. How can I create a button on it to open another database?

Thanks much!!

One way to do this is to put a button on the switchboard with the path defined to the database you wish to open.

"MsAccess c:\yournewdatabase" This will open Access again, and then open the database you wish.

Hope this helps
