multiple switchboards

[Dave the wave]

I have an application that contains multiple switchboards. I would like to
identify each of the switchboards differently, but I do not know how to
identify which switchboard is open and then update the unbound label
containing the text.

Thanks in advance

If you are taliking about the Access Switchboard, you only have ONE
Switchboard Form and the Switchboard Items are filled with data from the
[Switchboard Items] Table. You don't have multiple Switchboards.

However, if you can understand the code created by Access for the
Switchboard, you may be able to modify the code to do what you want.

Personally, I prefer to create a set of Menu Forms on which I have more
control rather than the Access Switchboard.

You're correct, there is only one switchboard which Access reuses. I thought
there might be a trick to adding some type of heading text to identify which
level the user is at.

Perhaps using separate forms is a better way to go.

Thank you for your comments.

I solved the issue. I added the following code:

lblMenu.Caption = Me.Caption

to the FIllOption function for the switchboard.

Thanks for your comments!
