Hi all!
I would like to create access UI like in this video on YT"POS Built with Microsoft Access - Overview".(youtu.be/Yjf6AB0iHZo)
What he used? Buttons or navigation? How did he managed to have full screen and centered forms?
Just need hints some hints where to start.

Looks like Tab control on one form.

Full screen probably maximizes app and uses code that hides/customizes ribbon.

The sidebar menu is possibly on a form that is maximized and never closes then other forms open as popups.

Agree with June's interpretation. Also the navigation pane is hidden.
The right side of the screen could either be popups or possibly a sub form whose control source depends on which item is clicked in the sidebar

You can find code to hide the ribbon and navigation pane in my example database Control Application Interface - Mendip Data Systems.
That example also shows how to fill the entire screen and/or hide the entire application interface if required.

Tab controls are a standard feature of Access forms.
There is a built-in Access navigation form which allows you to create a sidebar. However although it produces attractive forms very quickly, it is also difficult to customise significantly. You may be better off creating your own form
