MS Access Forum / Forms / March 2007Switchboard Buttons per user
Is there any way to control the switchboard so that only specific users can see a specific option on the switchboard? For example, if the user is part of the Admin group, they can see the switchboard option that opens the Password Update page for all users, where a user who is part of the Users group would see the button that opens up the password change form for their own account only...or maybe control who can go to a submenu. Right now I've created a form that looks just like the switchboard and I have it check the CurrentUser() to determine when to display the Admin Password Change form vs. the User Password Change form. Can this be done via the actual switchboard? It has been so long since I used a switchboard, I can't specifically answer your question, but I would suggest that using a form as the startup form is much more powerful and flexible, so why not do that instead? You can set the border to none on a form and add command buttons, submenus, exit buttons, etc. that will address all of you concerns, and give you more design options as well.

Damon, I have that now, but the problem is let's say User1 has rights to items 1, 2, 3 and 4, but User 2 only has rights to items 1, 3 and 4. The problem is I have to continually re-locate buttons on each form to keep the 'gaps' from appearing. The Switchboard automatically aligns buttons up to the top, so I'd like to do it that way...plus, if I hand this DB off to somone else, they may not be very code-savvy, so the easier the better. > It has been so long since I used a switchboard, I can't specifically answer > your question, but I would suggest that using a form as the startup form is [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > via > > the actual switchboard? |
