CREATE OVERLAY MENUS

[I am alive]

I greet you all. I am kindly requesting for assistance in creating overlay menus just like in the attached screenshot below.
I would like such that if you click lets say object type it opens another form.
when a form is opened the menus should not disappear. Thanks in advance.

you would use docmd.open....whatever to open a form, report, table whatever.

so you might have a listbox to list your forms, another for reports etc. For the forms listbox (called say listForms) you would put the following in the on click event

docmd.openform listForms

I suggest that you look at the menu system proposed by MajP

It gives more flexibility and can be easily expanded without the need for more buttons and the need for additional screen space.

I would like such that if you click lets say object type it opens another form.

create a Form and put that menus as subform.
create another subform beside it.
set the Source Object of the second subform to whatever form you need to open.

It is showing all forms. How do I hide other forms and reports...?
