Switchboard in Access 2010

I am trying to create a Switchboard in Access 2010, but when I create the
first entry the number block is blank and it will not let me edit to enter a
number. I have tried changing the background color to see if that was why I
couldn't see the number, but that didn't help.

Probably a Really Good Thing (in disguise). The Switchboard Manager is a
complex solution to a simple problem, and all the experienced developers of
my acquaintance normally use unbound Forms of their own design with Command
Buttons... perhaps several Forms. This is not only less-likely to encounter
a fatal error than Switchboard Manager, but allows you to add functionality
that is best used at the menu or switchboard level.

They are talking about a Switchboard with command buttons. No data or records
to display on the form. Therefore why would you want to bind it to a table?

If you want to see sad, look in the mirror.
