In my front end, I removed a form named simply "Switchboar d", thinking it was left over from an early attempt to make my own switchboard. As a result, opening my database gives me the error "The form name 'Switchboard' is misspelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist."
The switchboard is still intact because I can access it from the Switchboard Manager if I open the database with <shift>double-click, but I don't know how to get the front end to recognize it.
Thanks!

Okay, the kludge I tried that worked was to copy the form "Switchboar d" from a different database that also had a switchboard. This seems lame to me; surely there is a way to re-create the "Switchboar d" from within a front end that has lost it.

The Switchboard Items Table precisely controls the behavior of the Switchboards themselves. If it is still present, you can manually re-create the Switchboard and restore it to its previous State. You can create a Demo Switchboard with several Options, then look at the HandleButtonCli ck() Routine which will describe the Options in the Switchboard Items Table. P.S. - I do believe that this problem ws previously solved by missinglinq in the following Thread, Post Number 5: http://bytes.com/topic/access/answer...itchboard-form sueb 379

That was really my question: HOW do I manually recreate the Switchboard? And I see in the thread you linked to, that the only save is to essentially do what I did; i.e., make/copy an existing one.
I'm appalled that Access allows the deletion of something so crucial without the ability to get it back, especially since getting it back would seem a trivial function from "inside" the application if the table is still there.

You can manually recreate the Switchboard, but it requires intimate knowledge of the Switchboard Items Table and the Values contained therein and what they represent. That is why I suggested a look at the HandleClick() Sub-Routine, which reads this Table and manipulates the Values contained in its Fields to dynamically produce various Switchboards based on a single Template. If I have time, I'll post a sample Switchboard Items Table and illustrate how the re-build can occur from there. You will still have to create a simple Switchboard via the Switchboard Manager to generate the basic code needed for it to function.

Sorry Sue. That isn't even an answer to the question (but rather a work-around) so I reset it. The Best Answer is there to direct people to a good solution to the problem when they search for it and have limited time.
As for the question, I have a database without a switchboard, and I selected Tools / Database Utilities / Switchboard Manager and it told me I had none, and asked if I wanted one created for me. I didn't want to proceed as I don't want one, but I suspect if you did, you may well get what you need.
Let us know how you get on.

I have a question related to the "security" issues posed by Globals ON.
It is good programming technique IMO to initialise variables, even if it's
just
$foo = 0;
$bar = "";
Surely it would be better to promote better programming than rely on PHP to
compensate for lazy programming?
