Forms created from starting a new Switchboard

[winterglaive]

This is probably elementary, but I'm entirely lost. Here's my issue:

As most of you probably know, when first creating a switchboard in a database will automatically create a form based on it.

Somehow I managed to delete that form, and have no idea how to make a new one with the same default switchboard format (where command buttons are automatically generated, and there's a default title label with the shadow effect, etc.)

I thought I might try to just delete the switchboard and create a new one so that another form would be created, but it won't let me delete the switchboard!

If I understand correctly, I have to create a switchboard without any other switchboards already existing for Access to create a related form for me. Any suggestions?

Access creates a Switchboard form and a [Switchboard Items] table. I would rename the table. Then open the switchboard wizard and it will create a new form and a new table. Close the wizard without adding any items. Delete the new [Switchboard Items] table and rename your saved one back to the standard name.

Thank you! This worked perfectly.
