Is there a way to resize the Switchboard manager menus system?

[Gary J. Dikkema]

It seems to be so small - with so few choices -

Anyone?

The Switchboard form itself has a fixed number of buttons on it, which
are shown or hidden as needed. You could add a few more, if you want,
and modify the code where necessary to allow for the greater number of
buttons. I trust you're also aware that one of the built-in functions
available for the switchboard is to open another level of switchboard
items.

However. most of the people I know don't use the Switchboard and
Switchboard Manager at all. We just create an unbound form, put a fixed
set of command buttons on it, and write the code for the buttons
ourselves -- or let the command button wizard do it, where that's
convenient.

How many buttons are you seeing? If you are not seeing 7 or 8 then you have
not used what is there. Open table Switchboard Items and add to the table.

Make sure you backup the database as you can lockup the database if you put
the wrong entries in the table.

That's what I meant... 7 or 8 is so few...

Yes, I like the switchboard except I wish it allowed for 12 options...

Dear Gary:

If you really want to stick with the Switchboard, you can find help to
expand the number of options here:

Good Luck!
