I really don't use them. As others on here, I usually make my own menu screens. I did use one in an ADP not too long ago. I was converting another coworkers mdb over to SQL and decided to carry over the switchboard table and menu. I had to make a small change, I think I called a view instead of the table, but I might be wrong. Then again, I might have did that to deal with the new column I added "RequiredRole". If a menu option should only be visible to a certain role, then that role name is added to the table record. I also don't use the switchboard manager to add/edit menu items. I simply add/edit the table record when needed. The thing that I don't like about switchboards is when I add a new screen, I have to remember to wait until the end of the day to add the menu item. If I don't people may see the new item listed and the screen won't exist on their FE yet.
