By default, Access displays the same switchboard no matter what view you are in. However, you can customize the switchboard using the switchboard manager. To open the manager, click the Tools menu, click Database Utilities, and click Switchboard Manager.

 

 

The Switchboard Manager offers you the ability to use another pre-defined switchboard (Reports or Forms) and has tools to help you create a new switchboard.

 

 

You can easily make any of these three switchboards the default by selecting it and clicking Make Default. You can also edit the items displayed on the pre-defined switchboards using the Edit command on the right-hand side.
