Adding Title to Switchboard Form

[Meryl]

My main switchboard calls other switchboards. I would
like to display the Title Name of the lower lever
switchboards when that switchboard form is displayed.
I.e. if I have a Fundraising Switchboard called from the
Main switchboard, I would like "Fundraising" to be
displayed. Can you tell me how to program
this?

Thank you.

Meryl,
I suspect you are using the Access built-in Switchboard, not your own
unbound forms.

If so, open the Switchboard form in design view.
Add the two lines with the ' *** to the Form's Current event so that
it reads like this:

Me.Caption = Nz(Me![ItemText], "")
Me!Label1.Caption = Nz(Me![ItemText], "") ' ***
Me!Label2.Caption = Nz(Me![ItemText], "") ' ***
FillOptions

Label1 and Label2 are the labels that appear with a slight shadow
above the column of command buttons.

If someone has changed the names of the 2 labels, just adapt the code
above as needed ...
OR ...
If you want to retain Label1 and Label2 as is, just add another label
where wanted and change the above code as needed.
