switchboard

[andrew]

Hello all,
I tried to create a switchboard, and it sorta operates
fine. Except that when I open a form from the
switchboard, it can't access any records.

I believe the form itself works in that I can add
information, but I just can't access old information.

Thanks in advance!
Andrew

You must have told the switchboard to open the form in "add " mode. Change
that to "edit" mode.

One of the options in the Switchboard Wizard is to "Open Form in Add Mode."
If that's the option you selected, the form will open to a new record and not show any previous
records entered.

To solve this, go back to the Switchboard Wizard and select the option that says "Open Form in Edit
Mode." Now when the form opens it will default to showing all the records. It will, however, open on
the first record.

Another possibility is that the form itself has it's "Data Entry" property set to Yes.
Go to the form's properties and look for the option on the All or Data tab that says "Data Entry."
If that option says "Yes" then only new records can be added.
Change that to "No" to view all records from the form.
