I have designed 7 forms for the same databse, but I would like to organise each one into an organised structure by applying next buttons on each form. Eventually, I would like to import the forms into a self created switchboard functionality. Is this possible to implement? If so, how can this be done?


Thanks:bow:

Yes. Create a form with buttons that open the forms you have created and bind those buttons to a DoCmd.OpenForm formname action. By creating your own switchboard, you can actually create a dashboard that shows data and allows you to still move between the forms.

You will need to either set your custom form to be launched on start up or create and Autoexec macro that will launch it.

This will ensure it is the first form shown when you start up your database.
