Switchboard items
Ok.. hopefully my question makes sense, but here it goes. I've added a new
item (Student Services) on the main switchboard and when I click on the it gives me three items (Jane, Joe, and Bob's name). Now when I click on each of the name, I want it to give me items (school names) for each person (Jane, Joe, and Bob). But it's not letting me do it. once I get to the names, then i won't let me creat new items, so I have to give commands for each name, which I do not want to yet. I want to execute the command after creat new items (schools). Is there a way I can do that?? Please HELP me!! :-( |

How no one is helping me out? I've been waiting for an answer for about two
weeks now. "Mani" wrote: Ok.. hopefully my question makes sense, but here it goes.

Switchboard items
You're much too patient! During the week waiting a day would be
reasonable. Most posts get a response in minutes or hours. Be a little more patient if your post is late Friday or over the week end. As given, your question doesn't make sense to me. For starters, what version of Access are you using? The Switchboard Manager doesn't offer very many actions. There are none that implicitly lead to the presentation of results from or on a switchboard. Usually you'd open another Switchboard or a Form or Report, etc. from a command button on a Switchboard. Please respond with the name of the Switchboard and the name or label of each item on it and the desired action; open another switchboard, open a Form, open a Report, ?? If, by chance, you opened the table "SwitchboardItems" and entered data directly into it, that's probably the source of your problem. If you're creating your own switchboards from scratch then they have to be addressed simply as Forms with command buttons. HTH -- -Larry- -- "Mani" wrote in message ...

Switchboard items
Ok. For example.. let's say I have a main switchboard with 8 items and on
one of the items (Counselor switchboard), I want the Counselor switchboard to give me the names of the Counselors (for example Jane, Joe, Bob, and Jill). So when I select the names I want i the school names for each counselor. so if i were to diagram it, it would go as follows... Main Switchboard (which has the Counselor switchboard)------- then I click on the Counselor switchboard------- then I have Jane, Joe, Bob, and Jill------- then I click on one of the names------ then I have the School Names option (ex. South, East, West). Please help! "Larry Daugherty" wrote: You're much too patient! During the week waiting a day would be reasonable. Most posts get a response in minutes or hours.

Switchboard items
I've been away for a while.
To achieve your desired outcome you should not be trying to use the switchboard manager down to the lowest level. Instead, have the command on the Main Switchboard open a Form that will allow you to select the counselor and schools. frmCounselorSchools should allow you to pick a counselor from either a combobox or a listbox. Using the appropriate event for the type of control you choose, either show the appropriate schools in a subform on frmCounselorSchools or open an entirely different Form or Report showing just the selected counselor and the appropriate list of schools. There is a huge flaw in what you were trying to do. "Hard wiring" individual names in command buttons means that you are creating an application that will require maintenance with every change of personnel. Using the paradigm suggested above will only require changing the record in the table that lists the counselors. HTH -- -Larry- -- "Mani" wrote in message ... Ok.
