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:

Open A Combo Box Automatically

This is helpful if users need to enter large amounts of data. There are two ways to open ComboBoxes when they get the focus by using the tab keys.

When the ComboBox gets focus:

Press Alt + Down Arrow on the keyboard

For it to happen automatically, needs a bit of coding:

1. Add a combo box and a text box control to the form
2. Set the combo box's On Got Focus property to the following event procedure:

Private Sub ComboBoxName _GotFocus()

Me!ComboBoxName.Dropdown

End Sub

3. Open your form in Form View and use the TAB key to make sure it works.
