I had a switchboard designed, it worked well, then all of the sudden the
buttons went nowhere - and I couldn't fix them. So I deleted the switchboard,
went back to the switchboard manager to redesign, and KABOOM - can't get it
to "go" anywhere, to open a newly-added "new switchboard" etc. Any command
buttons I make give me a debug message when I click them. Tired renaming the
switchboard "Home" - doesn't fix the issue. I need help, please!

The built-in switchboard uses a table to store the button commands.
In addition to deleting the switchboard form, you must delete the
Switchboard Items table.
Now open the Switchboard Manager and create a new switchboard.

You might, as many of us do, find it easier and better to simply
create your own switchboard, using an unbound form and command
buttons. If you use the command button wizard when adding buttons,
Access will even write most of the code for you. You'll have more
control over it's appearance, maintenance will be easier, and you'll
have more functionality. Also you will not have to jump through hoops
to have more than 8 buttons. No additional table needed.
