    Switchboard help? Please

    Hi there, the problem I have with the switchboard is that I have created two switches with the forms linked. So as I click each button it goes onto the linked form. However as i go to design view I can only see 1 button out of the 2 I made.
    Is there anything i can do because I want to give both buttons a password to restrict access to the forms?


    Thank You very much

    check to see if they're stacked on top of one another. move the one control with the mouse and see if the other is underneath it

    Is the switchboard you have created by the switchboard wizard?

    IIRC the buttons are created on the form dynamically when it loads. You may need to put your password code in the OnLoad or OnOpen event of each form unless you create your own switchboard.

    Why not start by creating your own SwitchBoard form. Then you will be in complete control if the events. The SwitchBoard wizard is there just to get you started with something that can navigate your application.

    If it is, and the professor led you on a true wild goose chase, then you need to tell him about it.
