i have a DB file with 3 forms and couple of tables and queries.
i want users to be able to open one of two forms, without seeing the
database window and the other tables & queries.
but i still want to be able to access the rest of the DB myself.
i tried using the STARTUP option from TOOLS, but if i choose to open a form
it only opens that form and i can't reach the other form.

is there a way to make two links, one to each form, so the users could
choose which of the two forms to access?

thanks,

One way to do this would be to create a "main menu" form that gives the
users the choice of which form to open.

And if you want to see the Database Window just hit the F11 key.
