"A Better Switchboard" is an add-in for MS Access that
provides you with a collection of enhanced MS Access
switchboard menus that you can use with your
application. These switchboards can be used as an
alternative to the standard button-menu and teal-green
style switchboards that are created with the Access
database wizard. The "A Better Switchboard" collection
includes web-page-like menus with rollover effects,
Expanding list/Treeview type menus, and different
button-style menus. Also, these new switchboards
provide enhanced functionality by allowing multiple
parameters to be passed to a function called from a
switchboard, by allowing web pages to be opened from
the switchboard, and more.

"A Better Switchboard" switchboards are easy to
implement. You use the "Switchboard Items" table that
the standard Access switchboards use. Just choose "A
Better Switchboard" from the add-in menu, import one of
the new switchboards into your application, open it
instead of the old switchboard and you're off and running!
