Default Users only need to access the data form or page

I created a simple database with about 10 columns. A couple columns have
drop down menu values. I created a form with the wizard, but when you open
it it opens the entire database project as well. I tried to creat a page
with the wizard, but it does not put in the drop down menu values and it will
not let you enter an information. The buttons at the bottom are greyed out.

I need to have a page or a form that my employees can go to to enter
information, but the do not need access to the database itself.

What do I need to do to correct this?

Thank you.

Hi Joel,

Right click the blue bar along the top of your database window and select
Startup Properties. Uncheck the button beside "Display Database Window".

Ensure that your form is listed as the startup form.

Hope this helps.

Damian.

ps: After doing this, pressing F11 will display the DB window again for you.
