Linking two or more switchboards

[Brad Gourdo]

I use one switchboard that has many levels (on button is for entering
the reports page, the other for opening forms etc.)

I would like to create another switchboard called Reports and whenever
I press the button for Reports, this switchboard would open. Is that
possible?

If not, then I would like to change the picture on my single
switchboard whenever i enter into one of the sublevels (for example the
Reports page).

Thanks,
Brad Gourdo

Brad,

Possible? yes. It's done all the time. You can *nest* switchboard. You
should go through the sample apps that comes with Access to learn how to do
it.
Basically, a button on a switchboard can route you to another switchboard by
setting it to *Go to switchboar* in the command box (i.e. while editing the
button)

HTH,

I know how to nest a switchboard. But I'd like to change the picture on
the switchboard whenever a user enters one of the sublevels.
How is that done?

Brad,


The switchboard is a canned program that comes with Access. It's nonetheless
just a form like any other form. So what you're asking is possible but you
have to muck around and understand the code behind the form.

The picture on the switchboard appears to be implemented as an image
control. So you can add code to your button's OnClick handler, something
like:

Me.ImageControl.Picture = "C:\My Picture\Picture1.jpg"
Me.Refresh (Or Me.Repaint??? I'm not sure which one)

As you can probably tell I don't use switchboards. They're rather limited.
