make custom switchboard?

[nescartel]

hello there. i am currently using ms access 2003 default switchboard as a menu to go to forms. question is, how can i create my own custom switchboard? i'm a newbie to access, so is it possible to use buttons that will call certain form and at the same time closes the previous form? how is that possible? i don't like the default switchboard because i can't change the buttons, and when i place a picture on the switchboard, it will appear on all pages of that switchboard. please help. thanx in advance.

If you are familiar with forms an switchboards, then you can just make one by using a form, have the form like a switchboard.Hope this helps

is it possible to use buttons that will call certain form and at the same time closes the previous form?

In the code builder on the click event of the button:

DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
DoCmd.OpenForm "YourForm", acNormal
