    Access 2000 switchboard not there

    kinda guessing you've checked this, but switchboard tables...are under the table tab, and the form under forms tab. also, are you showing hidden files? just in case it was somehow marked hidden.

    automatic critical updates

    mystery of the start button ...

    i have one user, that at least once a week, loses the start button. i can shut it down with the alt s, reboot and its back...but is there a key sequence they are accidently hitting that makes it disappear? prew
