Hello, My database is due tommorrow and my switchboard has gone crazy on me, it doesnt work anymore. When you scrolll your mouse it then goes through the links thats the only way to get to the section you want. So question is this, whats the advantage of using it? Cant I just set some...

Hmmm...would the charts be causing this.. I have added 2 charts to my switch board... Now that I am looking...do I really need the switchboard? Whats the advantage other than ease of use. I can just make my own and point them to the forms...correct?

Yea I just started using as well...seeing so many people help me...think I gave out like 3 or 4 today. Its probably to prevent to people just addin reputation to one person all day...kinda like spam protection... Theres probably a limit of how much 1 person can give another in like a certain...

Hello, Have had this splash screen and figured I would get it to work. I have searched around and found some things that helped but no luck. I just want it to open when any of my forms are loading...then when they are loaded for it to disappear. It just says basically "Please wait while the...

Ok update. This is strange. I just noticed my mouse scrolls through the options on my switchboard. As I scroll it moves through it as if I were clicking my choices. When I get to my form for adding I can click it and it opens... Strange why I am able to scroll through my switchboard?

Hello, Ok. My switchboard was working fine unitil I thought it looked better maximize than the pop up. So I used the: DoCmd.Maximize Now my buttons on my switchboard stopped responding. Now when it was in pop up mode it worked fine. Then when a selection was made the next form would pop...

Hello, I am adding a chart to my switchboard page which comes from a query...does anyone know if this is ok to do or if its not recommended. The Chart takes the database and summarizes its contents.. Didnt know if performance issues would come into play... Thanks for any opinions.

Sorry I dont...but there are some kick ass Access Sample Databases that you can download and its much better quality and ALWAYS FREEEEEEE!!!!:D Trust me the ladies love it.

Wow thanks for the information and amazing response!! Yea I am almost done with my first one...hope its normalized correctly. I have a feeling some things in my first database may not be totally correct so thats why wanted to start this next one trying not to repeat mistakes. In my first...

Well this is the place where they must have purchased it. If you mean what the type the database is, its SQL...not even sure if thats what your asking. Heres where they must have purchased it. We use Addvantage to track clients. http://www3.sungard.com/Addvantage/

Yup thats it. I have a button on my switchboard which is set to "Exit Application" and has a label I added that says Exit Database. It works fine like you say when I "X" out the database. It compacts and closes. When I use the Exit Button on my switchboard it doesnt close Access. I set it...

In Excel? Well there not templates...I just made them. If thats what you mean, unless I can make them to templates...not familiar with templates. Foreign Keys..hmmm. See Im not that good at this and not sure if I completely set my first database right...so figured I would ask this time...

It compacts just fine. It just doesnt exit the database or close it down. I attached a screenshot of where it stops. The message just stays there and didnt want to confuse my users. ATTACHED.

I have been here not all that long and just finished up my first...most of things I learn come from using Search. I had the same thing happen awhile ago.

Hmmm...this looks ok as well. Table1 Account Number First Name Last Name Business Name Contact Date Table2 Credit Given Entered By Date Entered

Ok. This seems to make more sense I think: Table 1 Acount Name Acount Number Contact Type Table 2 Contact Date Date Entered Entered By Table 3 CreditGiven

Does anyone see this as being wrong or inefficient? 4 Tables Table Clients Account Name Account Number Table Contact Type (meeting, conversation, notes, correspondence) Table Dates Date Entered Initial Contact Date Table Salesperson Credit Given Entered By

I guess an easy way would be to change the text to this: The Pipeline Database is under going routine maintenance, please do not exit until your mouse is no longer an hourglass!

Hello, Well my first one is almost done and looking to start the next. This one like my last was in Excel but I like the flexiblitly of Access, so heres the next spreadsheet I was hoping to bring over. Heres a picture as well to help visualize the excel spreadsheet: Now for how it works...

Ruralguy your awesome thanks! Now didnt know about this or not...but the the statusbar message doesnt go away when its finished... How difficult would it be to make it change to some other text when done: Like: vStatusBar = SysCmd(acSysCmdSetStatus, "The application must be compacted...
