Linking Forms and Reports

[JAS227]

I have created a form that comes up as a user initially enters my database.
But now I would like the user to be able to access a couple of reports that I
have already developed through that startup form. First, is it possible to
link the reports to the start page such that users would be able to
essentially click a button to run the report? Secondly, if it is possible,
it would be fantastic if someone could direct me on how to do this, or where
I can find information on how to do it.

Thank you so very much!

Open your form in Design view. Go to View, Toolbox to bring it up if not
already showing. Click on the Button Icon. Drag it to the form. The wizard
should show up which will help you assign a report to that button.

OR

Go to Tools, Database Utilities, Switchboard Manager. Use the Switchboard as
your opening form. The Switchboard Manager tool is a little difficult to
learn, and has some limitations such as only 8 buttons per page, but does a
good job otherwise.
