Questions Regarding Switchboard styles

[mattP]

Does anyone know how, or have a sample of how, to create switchboard to look like MS Outlook, with the sidebar for navigating. I've seen it on some demo's so no it's possible but does this require serious coding/progrmming ?

I basically want to be able to navigate my database using buttons and switches on the LHA of the switchboard and have the various forms, reports appears on the main part of the page ?
So basically as you would choose "Inbox" within Outlook and get your inbox contents come up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the link and this does look like a good format, however I've no idea how to configure that.
I am trying something at the moment where I have a form open with a sub form, on the click of a button I need another subform to appear but the first one to no longer be visible.
When you click the button to go to the other form I added this code :

Me!subformname.visible = false

But the first subform is still visible.

Any idea's ?

Thanks

Try...


Me.SubForm1.Visible = False
Me.SubForm2.Visible = True

Thanks for the responses, I have now got this working with a combination of what you have advised and "tweaking" certain other aspects of VBA code.

many thanks for all your help
