MS Access Forum / Forms / December 2007help with switchboards
Is there a way to put the names of different switchboard pages on the switchboard form? If you put one name on a switchboard page (in form design view), the same name appears on all the switchboard pages. I understand why this happens, but what if I want the user to be able to know which switchboard s/he is on? Thanks.

Follow up question: I want to put control tip text on each switchboard menu item. If I put control tip text on, for example, the main switchboard option label one, it uses the same control tip text on all switchboard menus (which have different items on the same option label in each menu). Is there a way to get around this problem? Also, I was thinking yet another way to get around the first problem I posted would be to create a new form without navigation buttons, and use the command button open form operation to link it to the main switchboard. That could work right?

Hi Debbie, Trying to have the Control Tip text change for each different switchboard menu is probably possible, but it would them become very complex to manage. It sounds like you're starting to push the envelope with the abilities of the Switchboard Manager. If you need further customizability, you might consider building your own switchboard-type of unbound forms.
