Switchboard Removed but still there

[Robert M]

I have removed the switchboard form, table and the command in AutoExec as well as the startup program. However I still get a...

"The form name "Switchboard" is misspelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist. If the invalid form name is in a Macro, an action failed dialog box will display the macro name and the macro's arguments after you click ok. Open the Macro window, and enter the correct name."

I have deleted the AutoExec and recreated it to open the MainMenu_frm that I am now working with.

Any help in getting rid of this error message is greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Did you use the Switchboard Manager to remove the switchboard? I guess not, so here:

Thank you for the heads up on the Switchboard Manager. Followed the instructions and got as far as Clicking on the Switchboard Manager, got the message that I do not have a switchboard, would I like to create one. I have tried not creating, then creating and having the switchboard on open, to open my MainMenu_frm then close. I have also gone through the Switchboard I created and removed all code associated with it. Then went into Manager and tried to delete it but was unable due to it being the default. I then followed the instructions from a googled website and deleted the table, and form. I still get the error message. Only thing I can try now is to create a new Database and copy all objects except the Switchboard over to it. Will see if that works.

Did you delete it in order to create a new switchboard for your db? Can you upload your db?

I deleted the switchboard to go with a self created menu called "MainMenu_frm" this gives me more variety for what I am wanting to do. The main one being an Option Box to select which set of years to work with and stay with that regardless of which form the user opens. This solved the problem of having to select which set of years to work with every time you open a form.
I solved the switchbox error message by creating a new database and copying all the objects except the switchbox (that I never did see to avoid) into the new database, Deleted the old database, and renamed the New Database as the old Database. This solved the problem with my switchboard error message.
I believe some of the programming associated with the switchboard was still in the database. By creating a new database and copying the objects over solved the error message.
Thank you for your help and links to solve this problem.

Good job!

By the way, I hope you remembered to import your custom toolbars/menubars and import specs if you had any.

Yet.

Thanks for your help and input.
