Background form

[stevens]

I want to develope an Access database and use a form as a background for all
other forms to open in. This background form will have perhaps a company
logo or watermark. Can you do this in the professional version of Office
2000, or do you need the developers version? Are there any parameters I
need to set for the form? Thanks guys and ladies.

I assume you mean a switchboard form that will open various other
forms and reports.

All you need is plain, everyday vanilla, Access.

You would create an unbound form (no record source), and add as many
command buttons as were needed to open what you wish.
You can add a background picture (watermark?) to the form by setting
the form's Picture property to the picture you wish. Set the other 4
Picture properties as needed. They're all on the Format tab of the
Form's property sheet.
The same with a logo, except you probably would want to use an Image
control for that. Once again, set the Image control's Picture property
to the logo image.
