This could be a complete waste of time and nothing to do with it but it could be spyware or adware on your computer.

Sry bout the double post but I managed to get a copy of the db and then I deleted the switchboard items table again. It works now, so I don't know what i tried doing last time. Sry for the waste of time and thanks for your help. Shads

Well when I create the switchboard the table appears with the switchboard items in but not the form. I will show a copy of the db at a later date as I do not have a copy of that at the moment, but will be getting one in a couple of days, as I am out of the office at the moment.

I've tried deleting the switchboard items table and that did nothing, it then just created a new one when I attempted to create a new switchboard. I don't quite understand what you saying here

Hi, Im not sure if this is possible or whether this has been mentioned in another place but I want to be able to send a form to a selectable person. At the moment I have a button on the form which runs a macro, in which is SendObject. The problem I have is that I want this macro to send the...

Well, the problem I have is that I created my switchboard and was working fine. But then I didn't need it anymore so I deleted it from the forms menu. If I go into the switchboard manager it is still there. So i thought that if I created a new switchboard it would solve this problem, but when I...

Yeh I have the same problem with mine. The switchboard items still appears in the tables section, but I cannot see or use the switchboards. But they are there in the switchboard manager.

Yes I can understand what you are saying but the user has used a spreadsheet for several years and doesn't want to change as they are used to the way to input the data, but I tried to get them to use a form but they said no.

Yes that would be a better way of doing it but the problem is that the person that is inputting the scores doesn't want to use a database. They want to use the current spreadsheet as that is what they are used to. But yes I would agree that just one database would be a lot easier.

ok thanks that was a lot easier than i thought. Ill give it a go and see what happens.

Ok, Well its a sports day and what i am trying to achieve is to get a program that will display the scores when they are entered. But i want the scores to be displayed for 5 mins, to give ppl time to read them. So if a new score is entered during that 5 mins it waits til the 5 mins is up (not...

but cant you run a macro or query that selects the data when it is entered, that is why i wanted to use access, as i thought that i would be able to run a query that would get the data after its entered, say by a button. Then run the timer after the button has been pressed?

Hi thanks for your help. I might then just use the spreadsheet and then use a timer function to display the results after that time, but how would I do that. I want to do it on another computer where the data is going to be entered, and i also want data to be entered at the same time. I know it...

Yeh ok that might work for example in scores so far, but i wlao swanted to display top scores, as they come in, so if it was a database would it be able to have a button at the bottom of the form for entering the score, that would run the macro that displays the score for a set time, but when...

Hi yeh thanks for your help, Yeh i already have a spreadsheet created to store the scores, I could use just access but i wouldn't know how to work the timer for that, i would have thought it would have been easier to do the timer when it recieves the data.
