Form Open upon start

[Guest]

I have a form that is going to be used as a switchboard to go to other forms.
I want this switchboard to open upon opening the database so that this is
the first thing you see. I have a feeling that a macro will be envolved but
can't figure out how to get it to do what I want.

I am learning Access as I go and am self taught so I don't understand all of
the terminology but like I said, I'm learning.

Thanks!
