Switchboard toggle buttons

I have created numerous interlinked switchboards for ease of navigation through the database I have created.
It's only really an aesthetic related query, but when a toggle button is clicked it stays depressed until another toggle button on that switchboard is clicked.
Is there a way to force the toggle button to "pop up" again after it has been clicked once?
I can do it by clicking it a second time, but this just takes me back to the form it is linked to when I clicked the first time.

Many thanks.

RE: Switchboard toggle buttons

Hello Wayne,

On the switchboard, have you tried using just the standard Command button from the toolbox instead of the Toggle button!

The toggle button is an On/Off switch, unless you control it via VBA you cannot have it to operate like a push button that can be pushed in and pops out when the mouse released.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.

Access tip:

Closing form after a certain time period

To make a form close automatically after a certain time period, you need to assign the close function to a macro.

Save the macro and ope up the form in design view. open the Properties sheet.

In the TimerInterval property enter the length of time you want the form open for. This should be in milliseconds, so for instance if you want the form open for 5 seconds enter 5000, for an minute enter 60000.

You now need to attach your macro (to execute the Close action) to the OnTimer event property of the form.
