And have you verified that you still have a form named "Switchboard?"

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Create a new form. Make sure the wizard is switched on, place a command button on that form. The Wizard will offer you several choices, one will be to open a form. Select that choice and then select switchboard. Save and close the form. See if that button with open your switchboard.

 

[theDBguy]

Yes i do

I would also suggest verifying the name has no typo or invisible characters.

 

[Gasman]

Yes i do

I think that code is in the switchboard form?, Yet yours has a suffix of _orig ???

The Wizard will offer you several choices,

Tony,
The 2007 switchboard is created with macros

 

[Gasman]

Do you have a backup?

 

[theDBguy]

AHHH what do i do, Anyone wanting to rewrite this for me LOL

Can you post a sample copy of your db with test data?

2007 switchboard is created with macros

Hi Paul, I'm not demonstrating how to create a switchboard, I'm demonstrating how to create a command button to load the suspected missing switchboard form. If it won't load from a new form with a new command, then the form is missing or misnamed. If it does load then it points to some other problem.

As we all know, once we have a problem we suspect that MS Access has a virus or something. Where often, it is... (and I say often - "always" would be a better term) ourselves which have caused the problem. So never take it for granted, even if you can see the Form, still test with code, you never know!

Here is a replacement switchboard form. It is based on the last VBA version of the switchboard but has been modified.

Rename your existing Switchboard form. Then import the one from the attached database. DO NOT IMPORT the Switchboard Items table. You do not want to overwrite your own table.

I have had a switchboard go awry with me more than once.

I used to keep a copy of the form and the table I seem to recall.

I'll check out that video as well.

Thanks Tony.

So i imported that SB and the same thing happened with the Not defined error. Anyone willing to look at Screen sharing on Teams maybe? i could really apprecate some support

Hi. Send me an email, so we can try to schedule something.

 

[arnelgp]

just copy the "Switchboard" form and "Switchboard Items" to a new database
and post that db.

This is the actual error I get ? as I do not use DAO

However the word Form should not be there, remove it and try a compile.

 

[theDBguy]

mine didnt have that? i also only have 8 buttons

@Gasman was correct. The file you uploaded had the extra code. If yours does not have it, then perhaps you uploaded the wrong file. Please see attached modified copy of the file you uploaded.
