Switchboard Samples (1 Viewer)

[Val]

Does anyone know where I can take a look at a database(s) with some switchbaord examples. I am trying to design one now and I want it to be really impressive, but it just looks blah. I'm looking for ideas to dress it up a bit.

TIA,
Val

Basic Access switchboards are a bit dull. Better to :

-make a blank form
-put an image box over it
-link the image to a bitmap file which has lots of fancy graphics
-drag out a command button over each bit of graphic that is to act as a button
-set the button transparent property to Yes so you see the graphic, not the button
-use the button click event to trigger something when you click on the picture
