    Switchboard Manager changes titles of switchboard pages

    I'm making a dashboard/main menu with the switchboard manager, since that's what I was taught in my MIS Access class to use. Whenever I had a new button, ex. opening a report, the title of that switchboard page changes to the last report I added to it. Anyone know why?

    If it's the old switchboard then the code used is
    Code:
     Me.Caption = Nz(Me![ItemText], "")
    I'd imagine it's similar for the newer Navigation forms.

ID:	35093 when I add a report to the list, the "Tenant Basic Information Report" Part changes. That used to say "Search by Last Name". I've been just deleting the page in the switchboard manager and re making it, not a huge deal just an inconvenience.

    @Minty I've been told that if I'm using the manager I shouldn't mess with coding stuff, is this true?

    Well that kind of depends if you know what your fiddling with

    To be honest it's actually written in a way that is quite easy to follow, so you could modify the select case statement to only update the caption in the event of it opening a form or another menu.
    So if you copied the line I pasted above to the three cases in the code (OpenForm, OpenForm in add mode and another Menu) and removed it from its original position it would probably work as you want it.
