Hiding Switchboard

[leturner]

My switchboard paints just about the entire screen, just what my user wants.
Most forms it calls cover the entire switchboard so you do not see it.
However; there are some forms that are smaller and the switchboard shows
behind thes forms. user does not want to see switchboard but just the
standard gray backdrop. Also does not wany forms enlarged. When finished with
form and exit button is pressed user wants switchboard back.
I have tried a couple of ways I thought would work but did not. User wants
change now. Any suggestions?

Thanks

When you select a Menu option from the switchboard... if that option opens
another form, add the following to the onload section of the just opened form.


Forms!Switchboard.visible = False

When you click on the exit button of the form you just opened you need to do
the opposite.

Forms!Switchboard.visible = True

If you used the wizard to create a close button for your forms, you will need
to add the visible = true statement then explicitly reference the form you
want to close. Otherwise, when you set the visible = true statement and then
execute docmd.close, you will close the switchboard.
