Open continuous forms with switchboard

Guest

I have continuous forms that I would like to open with a switchboard but when
I open them they open as single forms and also without the ability to go
between existing records using the forward/backward buttons at the bottom.
Is there a way to get these forms to open as continuous forms when opened by
the switchboard?

I found my own answer on this site:

Q: Whenever I open my data entry form from the Switchboard, it never shows
any other records. How do I open the form to show all the records in the
table?

A: One of the options in the Switchboard Wizard is to "Open Form in Add
Mode." If that's the option you selected, the form will open to a new record
and not show any previous records entered.

To solve this, go back to the Switchboard Wizard and select the option that
says "Open Form in Edit
Mode." Now when the form opens it will default to showing all the records.
It will, however, open on
the first record. ***NOTE FROM POSTER: MINE OPENS IN SAME ORDER THAT I HAVE
THE FORM SET TO OPEN ***

Another possibility is that the form itself has it's "Data Entry" property
set to Yes. Go to the form's properties and look for the option on the All or
Data tab that says "Data Entry." If that option says "Yes" then only new
records can be added. Change that to "No" to view all records from the form
