Startup Popup Window

[sassenach]

hi,

How do I create a startup menu when I log onto my access database?

I want to put command buttons on that window to open forms, etc.

Anyone?

1) Create an unbound form, call it frmMenu and put the command buttons on this form.

2) Create a Macro and add the following actions OpenForm and select the FormName frmMenu. Save the Macro as AutoExec

3) Close the database and then open it again.

Or just go to Tools -> Startup and select the form you want to load when the database opens.

Thanks, that was easy

You could also goto TOOLS>DATABASE UTILITIES>SWITCHBOARD...the Access wizard will guide you through the process of creating a switchboard. You can then add the items to the switchboard you need via the Toolbar.

Then follow Miles advise to have this load on Start-Up

I find the Access wizard switchboard over complicated for what you are trying to achive - Press a button - open another form. Thats all I want my menu to do. If you read the code behind the Access switchboard it seems the most complicated way possible to perform a simple task.
