I created a Switchboard first, but I ended up deleting the Switchboard and
now I am trying to create the Switchboard again and it doesn't work, it lets
me enter all the information bur it won't create the form for the Switchboard
for me to open and to see that it works, how can I fix this problem.

You did not mention whether you deleted the table or the form, but
here is a past post of mine which should help. Post back if you still
have problems.

If you need to create a new Switchboard Form, but wish to save the existing data in the Switchboard
Items table then follow these steps:

1. Backup your database (always a good thing).
2. Since you deleted the form go ahead and compact the database to clear out any dust bunnies.
3. Right click on the Switchboard Items table and rename it to "zSwitchboard Items" (no quotes
though).
4. Run the Switchboard Manager Add-in again. The wizard will say it cannot find a valid one and ask
if you wish to create a new one. Say Yes. After the first wizard form comes up just close the
wizard. You will notice that another new Switchboard Items table and Switchboard form have been
created.
5. Delete the new Switchboard Items table.
6. Rename the table "zSwitchboard Items" back to just Switchboard Items.
7. Compact the database once again.
8. You should be back in business. Make any adjustments to the items by running the wizard again if
needed.
