Is there a way to set the default to open two forms (instead of just one) upon opening Access?

More specifically, is there a way to implement the question in the above title WITHOUT resorting to code, which I have very little if any experience with? I have two forms I want to see launch upon opening the Access file. One is a form holding books data, the other is a form for periodicals. I already have the book form set as the default upon opening the file.

I'm sorry snowboarder but I know of no way without code. Maybe a button on the first form that the wizard can help you with to open the second form.

Thanks for the tip. I just now played around with the button feature in the design tools and that allowed me to place a link from the Book form (that launches as the default), to the Periodicals form.Originally Posted by RuralGuy

You will be missing much of the power of MS Access by not spending some effort to code a bit. Just my $0.02.Have fun.

There are free Internet sites but the best way I know of is having something useful to do first.
Here's a place to start: http://www.accessmvp.com/strive4peace/
