Style for Switch Board

[Guest]

When designing my forms, I chose to use the Sumi Painting Style and I thought
I would use it for my Switch Board as well. But, when I tried I was informed
that that style was not available as a Switch Board option.

Can I creat a style based on the Sumi Painting Style I chose earlier?

Worked for me in my testing; I do not get that message. I don't know what
to suggest.

You could always create your own unbound form, with all the command
buttons/labels etc you wish. That's considered by many to be a more
flexible solution than the switchboard manager.

AutoFormat worked OK for me after the switchboard was created.

Perhaps take a backdoor approach.
Set the Form's Picture property to:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Bitmaps\Styles\ACSUMIPT.GIF

Then do whatever additional formatting you think is needed manually.
The above path may be different on your computer.
