Default Switchboard Help

I have used the "wizard" and even tried to create a "Dashboard" type form.
When I use the wizard it comes up blank. I have tried and tried but no
success. I have run all the tutorials I can fins and all say the same thing.
Why wont this thing run? I have a simple table, several queries and many
reports. I am lost!
Can anyone help? I have even tried to copy in code for the VB but i dont
know enough about it to make it work.
Please help.
Ty

Why don't you build a simple menu form and use command buttons to open your
forms and reports? There are very easy button wizards or you could even use
macros.

Thanks for the response. This method doesn't seem to work either. I can build
it just fine, use the button wiz and when i click - nothing happens. It
doesn't seem to connect to anything. One gentlemen sent me code for the
do.cmd but I dont have the experience to utilize the code yet. Could
something be wrong with my software, perhaps a setting or something.

I discovered the problem:
The macro security was blocking the code to use the buttons!
IT WORKS!
Thanks.

I thought that might be your problem. If you are using Access 2007, try
adding a Trusted Location.
