How to customize switchboard background

18 New Member
Guys, I want to add text and change the background for each screen on the switchboard and as always my question is how do I do that. If I open the switchboard in design view I can customize the background that will apply to the rest of the screens, but I have no clue on how to change the background for each sub screens.

Thank you for taking your time.

I believe you've discovered one of the many reasons why very few developers use Access' native Switchboards! Most of us "roll our own" using standard forms, which allow much better control as well as better formatting. I believe you either have to accept one style background for all your switchboard pages or you have to replace your pages with forms. Sorry!

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?

I did some customizing on my switchboard (changing colors and adding graphics) to make it more appealing. I tried to add another item, and it told me that 8 was the limit. Fine. I deleted one item so that I could add another switchboard. I have done this several times in the past, but it will not open the new switchboard. The button just goes in and out and that is it. So, I decided to create a new switchboard and scrap the old one...

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?

Hi all, I mistakenly deleted my switchboard on the Object Forms view. I recreated it again with the database utility, but the switchboard isn't showing up in the forms view. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Jim Lee

I was working in Access and everything disappeared from the screen. When I closed and reopened the file there was no switchboard. I can open tables and forms etc if I select a category from the View > Database Objects menu, and use the up/down keys and the Enter key, but I can't see what it is I am about to open. I was able to replicate this with another database by moving the switchboard up past the top of the screen and scrolling up to...

I have recently inherited a database. The switchboard (and other forms) displays the name of the database on it (top, center). Currently the name that appears is Reviews. There are plans to roll out the application (i.e. making copies of the database) to other locations (Reviews-NY, Review-Dallas etc). If was mentioned today in passing by the original developer that there is a way to change the title that appears on the switchboard without...

In Acc2003, I have a situation in which I have a main switchboard and upon pressing one of its buttons , takes the user to another sub hierarchical switchboard. Pressing one of these buttons could take the user to another switchboard or to forms within the topical heading of the switchboard. What I would like to see is a "Screen Tip" type feature in which when the mouse cursor is 'rested' upon a particular Switchboard button, the 'top...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
