With switchboard can't navigate records with form

69 New Member
Hi all,
I have have been lucky to get some good advice in regards to some access questions I have had so far. The good news is I am almost done with this project but I seem to have hit another bump in the road. I have all my tables designed, I have all my forms made and working, and then I added in a switchboard as a central point of navigation using the default switchboard tool in access. When I open a form up through the switch board, I can no longer navigate through records I have already entered, using the default buttons on the bottom. I can still enter in new data, and it is saves in the table just how it should. If I close the switchboard and bring up the form, I can navigate through records just fine and everything works as it should. So, the question is, why is this happening and / or what should I be looking at to fix this. I have exhausted my little bit of access knowledge trying to figure this out and I am hoping that it is something easy that I am over looking. Any help is much appreciated!

Oh, I am using access 2003 if helps at all.

Thank You

You need to check the code behind the "form open" buttons on your switchboard; I suspect the form is being opened in a Add Mode, which means you can only add new records, not work with existing records. You should have chosen Edit Mode, which would have allowed both. You should be able to go back into the switchboard manager and change this. How switchboards created with the switchboard manager do things is very limited and sometimes confusing, which is why most people use a standard form for their "switchboar d," giving them more control over how things are accomplished.

Hi everyone, I am working on an Access project (ADP). I have a switchboard form setup to allow the user to open up another form by entering search criteria in a text box and clicking a command button. Then the form opens using input parameters and grabbing the data in the switchboard text box. My question is this, how do I grab the data from the switchboard form and put a wildcard on both ends of the data when passed to the input...

Hi all, My computer has suddenly decided that it doesn't like the switchboard - it's quite happy to open up on other machines, meaning the database itself isn't at fault, it must be something wrong on my machine.

I am trying to create a Switchboard using the Switchboard Manager in MS Access 2000. I have managed to get the table created for the switchboard, however it hasn't actually created the form. Hopefully I will have a main switchboard which will in turn lead to three sub switchboards. Can anybody tell me how to get the form automatically created from the Switchboard Table if at all possible?

I have a report that includes 5 different subreports. I'd like to be able to open this report using a date function (Start Date and End Date). I'd like all five subreports to show the data from those dates. I have learned how to use this start/end function but I can't figure out how to use it with these subreports. Right now the report opens but asks for start/end dates for each of the five reports. Is there a way I can input one set of...

I accidentally deleted the switchboard item in form list. Anyone know where I can get my switchboard back? The Switchboard Items in table list is still there. I can also view all the switchboard pages and commands I created in Switchboard manager. But there is no way I can bring the switchboard back. BTW, I am using Access 2003. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks!
