My real question is: How can I get back my
switchboard manager I had with
Access 97 in my present Access 2003.
My real question is: why would you want to do that?
The Switchboard Manager is a complex solution to a simple problem; it uses a
table, and unintuitive forms that are very prone to problems when you try to
modify them, even if you remember you have to do so with the Switchboard
Manager. If the number of questions here, and the answers to them, haven't
convinced you, let me 'splain: The simple, straightforward, maintainable,
and utterly flexible way to create and maintain switchboards is "unbound
forms with command buttons". You can recreate anything you can implement
with the Switchboard Manager using nothing but unbound Forms and the Command
Button Wizard. If you want to extend the functionality, you might use some
other types of Control and/or some VBA code.
That said, Access 2003 still comes with the Abominable Switchboardman if you
feel compelled to use it.
