VB front-end for Access tool - how to see design view

G

Guest

I just inherited an application at a new job and I noticed that the designer
had created the application such that when you click on an icon, it runs a
file called Liberty.exe and that brings up a switchboard from which a lot of
stuff can be done. I have also noticed that the application uses tables and
queries stored in anotehr Access database called storage.mdb.

The problem is, the Liberty.exe seems to launch a Switchboard form, but I
don't know in which database the form is stored; since the storage.mdb only
contains tables and queries i.e. there no forms or macros.

The question is, where is the Switchboard form being launched by the
Liberty.exe file stored.

From replies to my postings in other parts of this newsgroup, it seems like
the designer had used VB to design a frontend for the application.

Can anybody tell me what I need to do to show the switchboard in design view
and hence better understand how that form works. Thanks.

Rather than posting multiple messages in different newsgroups with different
Subject, you are much better to post to ONE newsgroup with precise and clear
description of what you are trying to achieve so that you don't have to read
replies from different newsgroups and potential respondents don't have to
waste time reading the same question.

Please see http://www.mvps.org/access/netiquette.htm for correct use of
these newsgroups.

You need the source code of the VB project if the application is developed
in (stand-alone) VB.
