Clicking on Switchboard does not bring up contacts

[CKreig]

I have created a switchboard. When you click on the contacts it will bring
up the form like there is not any contacts in there. However if you click on
the form in the table it will show there are contacts in there. How can I
correct this?

The contacts form may be set to open for data entry only. You can check this
by trying to enter a new contact into it. If you can add a new contact,
check the code behind the button on the switchboard that opens the contacts
form.
If the code behind the button has acFormAdd, remove the word acFormAdd, and
try opening the form.
The other thing to look for is the data entry setting on the form.
Open the contacts form in design view. On the property sheet on the Data
tab, find the property called Data Entry. If it is set to Yes, change it to
No. Do a check by opening the form from the switchboard and see if it shows
all the records to edit.
