Switchboard in Access 2010
in [General]
|
From: DJ in Dallas on 15 Mar 2010 16:02 I am trying to create a Switchboard in Access 2010, but when I create the first entry the number block is blank and it will not let me edit to enter a number. I have tried changing the background color to see if that was why I couldn't see the number, but that didn't help.

The Switchboard Manager is a complex solution to a simple problem, and all the experienced developers of my acquaintance normally use unbound Forms of their own design with Command Buttons... perhaps several Forms. This is not only less-likely to encounter a fatal error than Switchboard Manager, but allows you to add functionality that is best used at the menu or switchboard level.
