Access Tip of the Day
Load a specific form when an Access database opens (97/2000/2002)
When you finish creating an application, chances are that a particular form will receive the majority of the attention from users. If so, you can set up Access to automatically launch the form when the database is opened. To do so, choose Tools | Startup from the menu bar while the database is open. Then, choose the form from the Display Form/Page dropdown list (just Display Form in Access 97). Finally, click OK. This technique can be used to launch a form that acts as a splash screen or to open a switchboard form that acts as a user interface to your database objects. For more details on creating switchboards, see the article "Build a user-friendly application interface with switchboard forms" in the February 2002 issue of Inside Microsoft Access.
