I have searched and did not find an answer. Does anyone know how the switchboard manager works? I would like my switchboard to flow like the one that access makes. My swithboard has passwords and graphics and I cant figure how to incorporate them into the access made swithcboard.

The switchboard is just a form like any other form and the same design rules apply if you want to change its looks just open it in design view.

If you wan't to know how the form works look at the code behind it.
 
The Access switchboard is data driven. When you use the switchboard manager to create a switchboard, the manager creates the Switchboard form (which is always the same) and then creates the Switchboard Items table to hold your menu items. Build a multi-level menu that performs various functions such as opening forms, running queries, running macros, opening other menus, etc. Then take a look at the data added to the Switchboard Items table to understand how it works. The code behind the Switchboard form, takes its action based on the codes assigned to the button you select.
