What Are the Objectives?

A Switchboard is a Form with Command Buttons. This Form does not need a Table or a Record Source because it is not editing any data. So, it is considered Unbound. The Switchboard is simply a menu or map of what is in the database.
 
A Command Button is a Shape that responds to an Event. One example is the On Click Event. When a User clicks a button a Form or Report will open.
