I created a command button for a form. I also want that button to be used on
the Switchboard Manager. How do I put the click event on the Switchboard
manager? Do I use a runcommand and the name Command36_Click() or what? I
can't find out how to make the click event run on the switchboard... it only
runs when clicked on in the form.

The switchboard is just another form, you can edit it just like any
other. You can add a button the same way. Open the switchboard in design
mode and go from there.

How do I change the page in design view? I have multiple switchboard
interfaces. I need it to be the button on one of the other boards besides
the front page.

Use the Switchboard Manager to make changes to your switchboard(s). It will
install the command button for you.

It doesn't give me the option to do that.

I get into the switchboard manager, and get to the subform that I want to
edit. When I click to edit the button, it has three boxes to input
information in. The middle one for command, what should be in that box?
Most of the options don't allow me to use the Command36_Click() command. I
have it for Run Code and then in the function box I have Command36_Click() .
This is not working, which is why I am looking for help on how to get a click
command to work for a button that is on another form.

No, it creates and installs an altogether new command button for you.

I believe you've locked your thinking into using things in just one certain
way. You have to use the tools that Access offers to achieve the results
you want. I should have been more clear. You asked your question in terms
of getting the Switchboard Manager to do something it can't do. My response
was intended to mean "Instead of what you're asking, do this other thing".
