I deleted my switchboard form by accident, then I went to switchboard
manager, also deleted all the pages and content except the main switchboard.

After I created my new switchboard through switchboard manager, I found the
switchboard form didn't show up. Where it is? How can I make it back? Thanks
a lot!!!!

If you need to create a new Switchboard Form, but wish to save the existing data in the Switchboard
Items table then follow these steps:

1. Backup your database (always a good thing).
2. Since you deleted the form go ahead and compact the database to clear out any dust bunnies.
3. Right click on the Switchboard Items table and rename it to "zSwitchboard Items" (no quotes
though).
4. Run the Switchboard Manager Add-in again. The wizard will say it cannot find a valid one and ask
if you wish to create a new one. Say Yes. After the first wizard form comes up just close the
wizard. You will notice that another new Switchboard Items table and Switchboard form have been
created.
5. Delete the new Switchboard Items table.
6. Rename the table "zSwitchboard Items" back to just Switchboard Items.
7. Compact the database once again.
8. You should be back in business. Make any adjustments to the items by running the wizard again if
needed.
