    Can't get Switchboard Name to change.


    I've attached a print of my switchboard. The name should read LPAC Home Page; that is what I changed the name to be, and all my forms are listed under that ID in the Manager (default). I click on edit and the switchboard name show is LPAC Home Page, and there four items listed as on this switchboard. When I first created it, the name was fine. Only after I added items did the name change and I can't get it to change back. A little help here please.Attachment 16828

    I have never used the switchboard structure. I find it quite aggravating but if you want to provide db for analysis, will try to figure out what is happening. Follow instructions at bottom of my post.

    Are you talking about the caption on the button?

    What June7 said, trebled! But are you sure that you're speaking of the Name of the switchboard form, or the Caption of the switchboard form? Changing the Name does not change the Caption; it has to be done separately, by going to Properties - Format - Caption.

    The Caption of a Form (which the switchboard actually is) is set to the Form's Name...when the Form is first saved! But it does not change if the Form is renamed!

    No, the title above the buttons (not the tab).

    The title above the buttons says 'Print Reports' and it should be 'LPAC Home Page'? I expect it has something to do with values in the Switchboard table. As I said, don't use and need to see to figure out.

    That controls the tab name not the name in the form header; which is what I am trying to change.

    Your PDF does not even show form header. However, that is likely irrelevant to my understanding the issue. Without analyzing db I can only wish you luck in tracking down cause and solution.
