    Hi Heidi -

     

    Can you be a bit more specific?

     

    Since a switch is based on the value in a field and if the field is NOT a formula field you can put something like this in the formula section of a button:

     

    'fieldname used in switch' := "new value" <-- quotes are not needed if a number

     

    The limitation of this code is that the value is hard coded and there is no easy way for you to change the value.

     

    If you create a field called newSwitchValue then put the field next to the button, you can adjust the code to:

     

    'fieldname used in switch' := newSwitchValue

     

    Good luck and let us know how it goes.
