A2007 creating a Startup Switchboard

[mark r]

In 2003, it was tools >> database Utilities >> STARTUP

Simple


In A2007 it is not intuitive

Create >> Form Design
manually set up your buttons
yada yada
x out give the form a name

SO HOW DO YOU DESIGNATE IT IS A SWITCHBOARD?

Hi mark r,
it is the same principle, you just need to look in a different place to set
the start up form.
Hit the big office button in the top RH corner.
Choose access options - bottom of dialog
Choose Current database from options on left side.
Now look for Display Form and choose your form from the drop down list.

Are you saying there is no "STARTUP" word in a menu to select?
you did not mention the word "Startup"

This no STARTUP or Startup or StartUp or anyway you choose to spell it... on
any menu to select in Access 2007... Follow Jeanette's instructions...
