Hi Dirk, Thank you for your reply. The file, which was mentioned in the article was already renamed as directed by another article which recommended to rename 3 files (Acwx*.mde) to *.old before Sp-3 is installed. Which I did and now when looked for the acwztool.mde file, there were no new files created with the *.mde extension. Only the *.old was there. Still I cut I paste all these files away from the original folder, and ran the repair. The repair had many error messages, saying "Error 1328. Error applying patch to file c:\Config.msi\*.tmp. I clicked Ignore for these. After the repair I still had the same error when trying to open the switchboard manager. And the files were not recreated in the original folder. I searched the CD for these files and simply copied them to the original folder. Now there is no error message when accessing the switchboard manager, but I still have the very first error with the original database (Error accessing file...). I recreated the form in a new database (the one with the option buttons and tabs) by importing the original tables. It works fine, however, when adding the switchboard, I can fill in the necessary information for the switchboard, and click Close, and there is no Switchboard item in the Forms object only in the table object and cannot see it when setting up the Startup option. I just don't know what I am doing wrong. Thanks for your help, Aniko The fact that you still get the "Error accessing file" message on the original database is only to be expected -- that database is corrupt, and applying SP3 was not expected to fix it. The error messages during the Repair bother me, and I don't know if you've successfully fixed things up or not. Check for missing or broken references in the new database, in case that's what's wrong there. I'd hate for you to have to completely uninstall Access, reinstall it, and then apply the service pack again. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) |

Hi Dirk,
I will keep trying, but I already unistalled and intalled the whole lot 3 times and run repair 5 or 6 times. How about the switchboard problem? What is wrong with the switchboard?

Hi Dirk, I will keep trying, but I already unistalled and intalled the whole lot 3 times and run repair 5 or 6 times. Unfortunately, there's a difference between uninstalling and "completely uninstalling". But let's not plan to go there if we can help it. How about the switchboard problem? What is wrong with the switchboard? That's what I was referring to when I suggested you check for missing or broken references in the new database. Go into the VB Editor environment, click Tools - References..., and look for any references marked MISSING. Follow the procedures Doug Steele outlines he http://members.rogers.com/douglas.j....nceErrors.html That may not be the problem, but it's worth trying. If that doesn't work, and if you can compact and zip your database down to less than 1MB in size, you may send it to me at the address you get by removing NO SPAM from the reply-address of this message. I'll have a look at it, time permitting, and see if it will work for me. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) |

It works :-)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Dirk, I followed the instructions on the link you provided. There were no missing references, but I removed two references allowed and put them back. Now the switchboard is working!!!!! Now, I think we can close down this long thread; I we can start a new one, when I come across some difficulties with my Access project. Your time and help was and is and well be much appreciated.
