Ambigous name error

My switchboard button (created and based on form) won't open. I was using wizard to create a button in order to open another form, but I was getting the error message. I am not familiar with visual basics, is there any alternative method to make my buttons work?
Thanks

RE: ambigous name error

Hi Daiga, thanks for your query. Could you post the error message you are getting? We need a bit more information on the nature of the problem before we can advise a course of action, although if you used the wizard to generate a form for the switchboard VBA shouldn't come into it. Any more information would be a great help.

Many thanks,

Anthony

Access tip:

Splittng a database

Split your database into two (at least).

Keep all of your code, forms, reports, etc. in one 'code' database and all of your tables in another 'data' database which is then linked to the 'code' database.

This makes modifications, updates and back-ups that much easier and allows you to work on a new version of your 'code' database without affecting existing users. It also makes it easier should you wish to convert a single user databases into a multi-user networked version.
