Well you're lucky you can't use the Switchboard Manager.
It's been said in these newsgroups that the built-in Switchboard
Manager is a complicated solution to a simple problem.

You will be much better off creating your own switchboard using an
unbound form with command buttons. If you use the Command Button
wizard when adding the buttons, Access will even write most of the
code for you.
You will not be limited to 8 buttons on a form and you'll have more
control over it's appearance. Best of all, maintenance will be easier.
