Novice needs help

[andy callaghan]

I have created database but I now have 3 questions. I havce changed a subform to view as a pivot chart but I am unable to split and group in a similiar waay as in excel, is this just something I have to accept because otherwise my "lets have a works database" theory is shot.

2nd I would like to create a switchboard how do I do this.

and lastly some of the data I would like to utilise for mail merge document ( name and address stuff) are these easy to set up??

thanks very much

pass.

create a blank form, add buttons and link them to forms, queries or whatever you want it to open. then to have the menu show at database startup go into tools > startup and select the form to display at startup.
you can use the built in switchboard manager but not recommended.

use the mail merge wizard.
