creating a menu when an access database opens
You are describing three different objects.
An Access table stores data, an Access report displays it (for print), and an Access form (e.g., 'main menu') provides a way for a user to navigate. You have to create the form (i.e., main menu) and populate it with controls, and add code to those controls that will do what you want.

Startup menu item to specify a Form (not a table or report!!) to open when the database opens. -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |
