I am looking for sample database that has nice gui and nice transaction between different functions. I have current create db that uses frame so the transition between function is almost transparent but i lack a good gui design.

Some suggestion and samples would be great

Thanks in advance

yeah

i looked at this and its very interesting

i think a lot of stuff like this depends on the number of users - in a commercial environment where your development costs are shared amongst hundreds or thousands of users, you can afford to spend a lot of time and money on this.

in house, on a single system its much harder to justify a lot of things, such as

a) integrated on line help
b) things like tweaking forms so that buttons/textboxes resize/move with form borders - perhaps ms will add properties for stuff like this in future (maybe they did - im not so familiar with A2007) - otherwise modifying settings for every control on a form is a major bind.
c) even things like shortcut menus - its easier and quicker just to add a button or two.

There are also some other great resources at Microsoft.com like this:
