SWITCHBOARD MANAGER

[Lightning]

Does anyone know how to increase the default number of buttons on a switchboard created with the Switchboard Manager in Access 97?&nbsp;&nbsp;I need to have a main switchboard with ten items on it.<br><br>I can add the extra buttons and fields to the form, and modify the necessary constants in the FillOptions() procedure, but I still get an error message saying only 8 items permitted per switchboard.<br><br>Am I missing something elsewhere in the code, or do I need something else to modify the manager?<br><br>All suggestions greatly appreciated.

There is a way.<br><br>1) On the switchboard form, you need to add (copy and paste) the two extra buttons and labels.<br>2) On the 9th button, change the button name to Option9, and the label to OptionLabel9.<br>3) On the 9th button OnClick Event, change the =HandleButtonClick(8) to =HandleButtonClick(9)<br>4) On the 9th Label, Do the same.<br>5) Do steps 2 and 3 again for the 10th button and label.<br>6) Go to the new table that Access created called &quot;Switchboard Items&quot;<br>7) Add the appropriate information for each of the new buttons.<br><br>This should do it for you.<br> <p>Jim Lunde<br><a href=mailto:compugeeks@hotmail.com>compugeeks@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=

Thanks.<br><br>I'd missed changing the OnClick event on the labels, and that was giving me the error message.<br><br>It's always the little things!!!!
