Someone help me please. This one is driving me bonkers! I'm trying to create a switchboard through which one can access data entry forms. Now there are about 13 of such forms but I've put only 3 here for simplicity. The idea is to have a button (on the main switchboard) represent each category but I understand the switchboard will not allow more than 8 buttons on it? I guess that by the end of the day, I will probably have two secondary switchboards for these 13 buttons.

I created the main & secondary switchboards (the second is called "This is the Look I want"). A button called "TheOtherBoard", on the main switchboard, should take me to "This is the Look I want".

1) I don't like the way the Main switchboard looks and decided to create the secondary switchboard with the look I prefer but it duplicates anything I do. How can I fix this?:confused:

2) when I double click on the main switchboard, the secondary board (with colourful buttons) opens. Should be the ugly one first!

3) Also, since I manually added the buttons & stuff, I think I'll need to link them with the forms. How do I do this.?:confused:

your help is much appreciated
 
I haven't looked at your database but I think you will find it easier and far more rewarding and flexible to create your own custom form. If you create a custom form then you have complete free reign on how many buttons and where and each custom form is independent.

Take a look at the video..
