nothing like hijacking a 15 year old thread
@shaunfish - you say you have a similar problem. The original poster was using a 2000 db. Access 2007, let alone 2010 hadn't even been invented when their thread was created
So are you running a 2000 mdb in 2010? or something else?
you say
It error is something about the switchboard name has changed or is missing
would be very helpful if you clarify
exactly what this says
I would also clarify who uses the front end - is it shared between users? or does each user have their own copy? if the latter, do other users have the same problem?
And to cover the obvious, I presume it is not possible that you are actually opening the back end and not the front end? and perhaps left an autoexec macro in the back end?
