Main menu attractive design - any suggestions?

[uyuni]

Hello everyone,

I have seen a few old posts on this topic, but thought I'd try again. Does anyone have any examples of attractive, modern menu design? Either one main menu or menu with submenus will do. Appreciate any help!

I think this is an interesting approach.

Edit:
I have later taken an in-depth look at the example and would not recommend it.
It looks nice, and appears user friendly,
BUT
I think the HOURS needed to code and debug this menu structure approach would be better spent on coding and developing the 'business' aspects of your database.

Maybe try a google search for whatever you think applies (e.g. switchboard) and choose the "Images" option at the top.
If you mean something like a treeview I believe there is a member (MajP) at Access World Forums who has written a reliable class for that.
Another alternative might be Access navigation form with a side menu - as long as you understand the limitations of navigation forms and how to code for them if need be.

Thank you for your reply. TBH, I was hoping there is something available for download that I can customize instead of having to write it from scratch. Any help is appreciated.

many of my apps take their design inspiration from web design - typically options down the side or across the top with the main forms in the middle. I tend to keep to a white background and use a variety of fonts depending on purpose.

But any app design very much depends on what the app is required to do and the way users will work and the workflow required - there is not one design fits all
