Does anyone know if there is a website containing sample forms? All my forms on initial entry into the database look the same and it would be nice to have something to "wow" my customers. I am a programmer, not a flipping graphic artist!

"wow" can sometimes backfire. Forms that are too busy with graphics can just be a distraction for the data entry user. I've never done anything that can't be done with intrinsic objects and controls and VBA code. The more 'wow' you want means more code and possibly even third-party add-ins.
I have seen some unusual effects in dbs posted here but never really explored how they were accomplished. Don't know of any site that would offer examples. What kind of 'wow' do you want - fancy buttons, gradient colors, fonts? I think this one is attractive https://app.box.com/shared/3o6lsr6g7c

That is a great design! You're right about getting carried away with graphics - mine are all very neat and tidy, but rather boring. No pizzazz. Someone should start a website!
