Switchboard

[reeve13]

I have copies of a split database (front end) placed on each employee’
computer, and I noticed my switchboard screen does not appear when th
employee opens the database on their computer. I went through a lot o
work designing the switchboard and would like to have it appear upo
opening the DB. I know everything in the database is linked so ther
is no reason the switchboard should not appear. Any suggestions on ho
to make this happen?

In addition, I have pictures on the switchboard buttons, and I als
noticed when I go to the second screen, the buttons on the secon
switchboard screen uses the same pictures as the default screen. I
there a way to not have it do that?

Thanks

Hi Reeve,

When you split the database, make sure that the startup form is defined in
the front end for your switchboard for. For the images,
the original path is probably not valid or incorrect for the users' PCs.
Svae the images to a share tehy all have access to, and set the path to the
full UNC rather than a mapped drive - in other words, use
"\\server\share\images\image.jpg" rather than "G:\images\image.jpg". After
making this cahnge, redistribute the frontend.
