I moved a copy of a access .mdb to another computer. Every time I place it on
my hard drive from a flash drive the switchboard items table disappears,
everything else works fine. I even exported a copy of the table with the same
results. I have done this many times always with the same results. This has
got me stumped. Any ideas?

Is the database split between front end and back end database files? I often
find that the Switchboard Items table should be in the front end.

Does the Switchboard still work? If so, it's still there but just hidden.

Do you get a message about creating a new switchboard?

The switchboard won't start at all from the splash screen. If I try to start
the form myself it says "The record source switchboard items does not exist" .
Recently I imported another copy of this table and renamed it before I used
it. I then changed the properties in design view to reflect the new name. The
switchboard now flashes on the screen for a second and disappears! This only
happens on my desktop. I have put this on many other computers with no issues.
I know it has to do with my computer, but for the life of me I can't figure
it out.
