Custom Button on Ribbon

[GUIDO22]

I have a database comprising many forms/reports/queries etc. and to run the Switchboard I have to navigate each time into the Forms group,
find the Switchboard form and run it...
Am I able to add a button onto the Ribbon to action opening of this particular form...? Im sure its possible but not too sure how to do so... any help appreciated, as always.

Thank you

google 'access vba add button to ribbon'

but if switchboard is the form you want opened automatically - select it in File>Options>Current Database - Show Form

Perhaps, another option is to use an Autokeys macro, so you can quickly open the Switchboard using a key combination.

If I am using a switchboard form, I have always set it as the startup form?

So have I ... but if I am working on the front end in 'design' mode having access to everything from the Navigation view I want a quick way to action the form...

That works a treat - thank you!

post #2 give you the correct answer.
set switchboard Form as your Start Up form (form that opens when you start your db).
you don't need to use any key combi.
