Problem with forms on Switchboard

I have a form that is based on a parameter query that needs to be opened in
datasheet view. I have set the default view to datasheet and disallowed all
other types of views other than design view. When I open the form directly,
after entering the appropriate parameters, the form opens up in datasheet
view.

However, when I access this form through the Switchboard, it always opens
the form in Form view rather than Datasheet view. How can I set the
Switchboard to open the form in datasheet view?

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

And five minutes after using Google I found the answer. I needed to change
the code in the Switchboard for opening forms in Edit mode to the following:

Case conCmdOpenFormB rowse
DoCmd.OpenForm rs![Argument], acFormDS

By adding acFormDS to the end, it forces the form to open in datasheet view.

Anyway, as you were people!

Cheers,

Mike

Can you help me? I have 9 forms in the base. 2 forms are opening as single and 7 as datasheet. Thats OK, but when I used Switchboard manager, with him all of my forms are opened as single. How can I solve this problem. Thanks!

Hi, I created some forms and during the wizard I chose the Datasheet View, and when I open the forms from the main objects window they open up in datasheet view. But when I created a switchboard which opens the same form it doesnt load them in datasheet, it loads them in other, columnar (me thinks), view. Is there a way to make the switchboard load these forms in a simple datasheet view

I have created a switchboard, created using Access 2000. If I put the mouse anywhere on the form, outside of the checkboxes and scroll the wheel backwards, I get the following error. Run-Time Error '-2147217900(8004e14)': Syntax Error (missing operator) in query expression in '>0 and =' I know that the Switchboard probably doesn't cater for this event but sometimes you can't help twiddling the wheel can you?

Ok. I am trying to plan ahead on how to make my DB the most effective. I’ve decided to use a Switchboard for this. So I know the basic principles of them as well as how to make 1. What I need help with is a control on it. My DB deals with clients, which will have to have information entered into forms for each 1. There is going to be something like 20 forms? Maybe a little less. I want to make the switchboard have a little button: Enter...

Hi Group, I'm creating a maintenance switchboard and am trying to create forms to update tables and wanted these to appear as datasheets. Although I have the default view set to datasheet and when opened directly the form opens in datasheet view, as soon as I try to open the same form from the mainenance switchboard it opens in single form view. I'm using Access 2000. Sorry if its a basic error on my part but cant see what I've...

I have several forms that I've built... Most of them have some sort of VBA code built in somewhere, like: Select a record with the key-value control, and the rest of the controls position to that record "OnChange event: Set <that> bound control equal to the value of <this> unbound control" ...etc. Straightforward stuff. The record positioning code was created by Access's wizard for creating a combobox, for example. These forms work...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
