Help with switchboard

[zeekzeek]

Brief Summary,

I have limited experience in Access but have a bit more understanding of databases and tables. I am helping a friend create and access database to track the time his employees spend on different job sites. i am using a template from Microsoft called "Time and Billing" I am going to be manipulating the structure a bit but other than that the template should work fine.

My main struggle is I need to have a screen that the employees access that takes them straight to add / edit a time sheet. i want the rest of the data, reports, views to be password protected. Ideally the switchboard would load up to a page that had a button from employees to click on where they would be taken to the form and a button the owner could click on, enter a password, and be taken into the back-end where the main switch board and the rest of the data resides.

If anyone can help me out that would be great. Oh yeah, The Access database in is Access 2000 being used on a machine running XP Pro.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Gary

you should create your own form and add it to show at startup (tools/startup) and on this form create a login for employees and admin. If a user logs in as an employee "take" him to his form(s), if one logs in as an admin "take" him to the switchboard...
