[AccessD] From a reader

[Doug Murphy]

Not a fan of navigation forms. I am more of a build your own fan using html links so the nav form works more like a web page, which everyone is used to. I used navigation forms in a project that used embedded Excel charts and we kept getting a save dialog when we moved off the chart tab. Turns out the navigation form unloads the object when you move off. Don’t know if this is still a problem, but it was in A 2010.

Forget switchboards!  Navigation forms are the way to go, and you don't need an add-in since 2010.  In fact, I've been thinking about seeing if you were interested in co-authoring an article on them.​
