hi,
Are there any ways where i could increase the no of entry within a switch board to be more than 8. I have 40 templates for my database, and i hope to have everything displayed on the switch board... :confused:
 
You could create a number of switchboards and then use the buttons on your main switchboard to open the other switchboards and then use those as sub-menus if you like.

I have personally found it easier to use an unbound form and create a main menu form from scratch rather than use a switchboard. This seemed easier to manipulate to me, and you can add as many buttons as you want.

Rather than use some pre-defined switchboard, I just created an unbound form and called it my startup form. I had at least 32 buttons on that one. Further, I believe I could have used tab controls on that form and it would have worked because no switchboard wizard was ever involved. I believe that but I didn't need more buttons than I had so hever tried it.

Besides, the form I built had some neat stuff in it for logging user actions behind the scenes. It was easier to do in a roll-your-own form than anything Access would build for you.
 
Use the Switchboard Manager to just add the items you want to additional pages
 
Thanks

Thanks to all,
I will try again using unbound form... :)
