    Main menu page


    I want to create a main menu page for my database. I have tried the Navigation form and obviously I am doing something wrong....because the tabs won't open the forms. We have Access 2010 at work and I would like to create something similar to this:

    Cardinal Rap - Main Menu

    [button] Input Monthly data
    This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables for appropriation, expenditures and revenue

    [button] Reports
    This button would take me to another screen that would would list the reports available.

    [button] Monthly reconciliations
    This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables necessary for my monthly reconciliations.

    The tabs in the Navigation form do seem to do anything.

    If you are creating a Desktop Database, I recommend avoiding the Navigation Form/Control.

    It's on a server that me and my supervisor would have access to.

    Access 2010 has this thing called Web Forms. Access 2013 uses something else. If you plan on using your application to communicate with SharePoint, you might want to use the Navigation Control/Form. Otherwise, if your desktop computer is linking from the Front End File to an Access Backend file, I would avoid Navigation Forms/Controls. For me, they are more work than they are helpful.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
