The Switchboard Manager in MS-Access is a
handy tool that provides for quick-and-dirty menu creation to organize the work
flow. To help users visualize & understand the navigation, I created a form
with a Treeview control, call it Treeview1.
Note: The
narrow display format in this weblog mangled the line breaks, so I've moved
this article and code to this URL (you can just click on the title of this
article):

When you review the code, keep in
mind that I have an item "GO BACK" on each switchboard page that
takes the user back to the previous page.
Simply create a form, add a Treeview control and invoke the code from the
Form_Load event. I also add a Form_Activate event to DoCmd.Restore so the
helper form always displays in a reduced window.
