Switchboard help

[cmxsevenfoldxmc]

I would like to know if there's a way of adding a switchboard page that goes to a table instead of only forms and reports and such? Because I have subdatasheets that I would like to see when I click on a button from the switchboard, instead of just simply going to a form and not being able to work as easy as it would be to work with a table that displays the subdatasheet right there.

Thank you,

Charlie

If the database is for your use ONLY, create a macro that opens the table or query and run the macro from the switchboard. If ANYONE else is going to use this database, working in tables/queries directly is a really bad idea. Create forms or subforms in datasheet view. They look like tables/queries and they can show subdatasheets but you have full control because you have access to all the normal form events.
