Help! I am very new to this access programming and having a wonderful time
learning. I was just putting the finishing touches on my first program when
I was trying to make the switchboard load FIRST.

Well, that worked, except now I can't figure out how to get back into my
database to do more work on it.

HELP!?

Please

Try holding down the shift key while starting up your database. That should get
you into the database without launching the switchboard.
 
Thank you kindly.

I don't suppose you know a way that I can get access to email something to
someone when a certain field or option is checked do you? I am writing an
order database and some orders require approval. If the box is checked it
could automatically email the item to my boss and he could call it in for me.

Do you know how I would do that in access? Or can I

Hi malocite,

Try this:

docmd.SendObject acSendNoObject,,,EMAIL_ADDRESS,,,SUBJECT,BODY_OF_EMAIL,false

Replacing the items in capitals with real data (in quotes). The false on
the end says to send the email without pausing, if you change that to true it
will pop the email up in a box and wait for you to click send.

Click to expand...

Use the Shift key as Jeff suggests - or press the F11 key to open the
database window.
