custom form upon startup

[Guest]

I have a form that starts up when access loads a database. My question is how
to get rid of the surrounding "form" content and have a clean page?

Also, what are some of the things I can add via buttons to the start page?

Load up your form in design mode, and open up the properties for the form (F4).

Depending on how you want your form to look, play around with the following
settings:

Record Selectors
Scroll bars
Navigation buttons
Diviiding lines
Border style
Modal
Control Box
Min / Max Buttons
Close Button

By changing the status of these properties you can make your startup screen
look a lot less like an Access database, and more like a stand alone
application.

As for your question about what you can make a button do, the simple answer
is anything you like, either by accessing macros or by using VBA code. I
think you would be better off deciding what you want to do with youre button,
and then research how to do it rather than the other way around.
