Question How to open a Menu or Dialog at startup

[malikge]

Hi,
I have created a small application in Access 2007, and by using package solution I have created the installer.
I have also created a AutoExce macro, but it opens the form and reports at start up.

Can I get Menu or a Dialog box with having all the Forms and reports on it, so I can choose which form or report to open.


Thanks...

Yes. In the Quick Access Bar - Customise > Current Database > Display Form and put the form you require.

If is also worth changing:

Use Windows themed control on Forms
Preserve Source Image Format

I tried that but it only allows to open one form.
On the other hand I have 4 forms and report.

Trigger these off the Form you load. It is quite understandable that only one loads but that doesn't stop doing more that that.

That's exactly what I was looking for..
Can you please give a Hint or explain a little more on how to do that..

It's just a Form but in this instance a Menu with command Buttons that has been subsequently decorated.

It no different to creating any other Form and loading with Command Buttons, and On Click Events whether they are Macros, Sub Routines or in this case Functions.

The background is a subdued standard Photoshop glossy background and the button images are pngs sized percisely to the Button size. The header and Button texts were created DFM2HTML. The later was a much later addition using Windows themed Controls on Forms will sufiice.
