In addition to builders and wizards, Access has three very powerful managers. We don't know what we would do without the Linked Table Manager to quickly link or re-link to data files. Granted, we could create our own tools or use add-ins to provide these functions, but for the most part, these do an incredible job. I admit that I often create my own main menu, but there are still plenty of instances in which a switchboard is ideal.
These managers are consistent, they work, and they are quick and easy to use.
