After you create the startup form, have Microsoft Access display the form automatically whenever someone opens your inventory database. Then, customize the database by adding a title to the startup form’s title bar, by adding an icon, and by selecting menu bar items. Click Startup (Tools menu), and then set options in the Startup dialog box.

Want to bypass the startup form and go directly to the database window?   Hold down the SHIFT key when you open your database.
