SwitchBoard

How can I make the Switchboard form open up in the middle of the window each time the Database is opened and minimize the DB window.??

Thanks,

Could you tell me what is the "Switchboard"?
I have seen this in a couple of threads and I don't know what it is.
I'm working with the french version of Access, so I cannot use the help to get the answer. I probably know what it is but don't know the english name.
Thank you!

Set the Auto Center to YES in the switchboard's form property.

Hey Newman,

I like to think of a switchboard (unless I've gone astray) as similar to the start page of a web site. It's a form that the user starts with so he/she can go to various sections of the database.

Thank you Paul!
We call it "Menu General" in french. Doesn't sound the same. How could I knew?
Thanks!

A real "switchboard" created from Access is very limited in what you can do for navigation. Most programmer's choose not to use the switchboard wizard because of it's limits.

To create a true Access "switchboard", you click the menu options... Tools / Ad-Ins / Switchboard Manager
