      Dave,
      I could be wrong on this but you won't do any damage by checking for 
this information within the base.  
Personally I always have a backup copy of my database for tinkering purposes. 
 I would try looking for an autoexec 
macro.  If you should find one then edit it and remove the Open, Form 
[Switchboard] reference that you would find inside 
it.  If you don't find an Autoexec Macro he may have done it with a function 
so next I would look there.  You can also 
redesign the Autoexec Macro to open the database with the New-Design Window 
open.  Any other suggestions, corrections, 
etc. are welcome.  I'm always trying to find a better way to do things 
myself.  Let me know if this helps.  By the way 
which book?
