switchboard fails to open automatically

[markb]

Hi Folks,

I have created a database in Access 2007. I have set the switchboard as the
default, but it fails to launch automatically when the database is openned.
It is the only switchboard in Switchboard Manager and it is set as the
default.
Please assist if you have any ideas.

Thanks,

Go to tools/startup and set the switchboard to start when Access starts.

Thank you for responding. I am unable to find Tools/startup in Access 2007. I
have looked through all menus I could find?

I am sorry, I didn't know it was 2007. Look in the help for startup commands
in '07. I'm not sure where it is since i use 2003.

Re access 2007 Switchboards

To set the switchboard in access 2007 go to the following
go the Msaccess icon in the top left hand corner the new Office button click on it then at the bottom of this menu you will see Access Options
Click on this
Access options will open you should see an option there for Current database on the left hand side
Select this and on the right hand window you will see a load of options application title etc, the option you need to change is Display form

This allows you pick what you want access to display when it first opens so therefore you would pick your switchboard form, then click on ok, close access DB and reopen your switchboard should be opening as default now.

Hope this helps
Nia.
