Max. Number of Switchboard Items?

[depawl]

Is it possible to have more than 5 items in a switchboard list? When I
try to add another item it doesn't work, nothing happens.
Thanks.

The trick to adding items to the Switchboard when you've reached the limit,
is to manually add the details to the table it uses.

Another trick is to simply not use the Switchboard Manager (which is,
IMNSHO, a complex solution to a simple problem) but to create your own
Switchboard Form(s) using unbound Forms and Command Buttons.

We see far more questions (indicating more problems) with the Switchboard
Manager-generated files, code, and forms than we ever did when all
switchboards were done "the old way".

Something is wrong. I'm not sure what.

The Built-in Switchboard should handle 8 items with no modifications to the code
behind the form.

And the correct answer is...
View the switchboard form in design view. On the menu
select "view" then "code".

Look for the event:

Private Sub FillOptions()
' Fill in the options for this switchboard page.

' The number of buttons on the form.
Const conNumButtons = 8

Dim dbs As Database
Dim rst As Recordset

See the number 8? Change it to the maximum number of
buttons you would like and save.
