Attached is 2 cool menu forms in the attached zipped mdb you can utilize in your projects (these are done in Access 2000 but can be used in any Access version.) If you like them, maybe send me a PM letting me know you like them. I also included some background .gif files of different colored rectangles and shapes you can replace in the form.

To me, a good main menu form says a lot about the quality of the program so I hope you can find them beneficial.

Also notice how I've changed the pointer to a pointing hand (this is very easily done with a simple module.)

Key Point if you modify either menu -> make sure you bring the text box with the wording to the FRONT (ie. Bring to Front).

On the 2nd Menu, make the yellow color box (or whatever highlight color box you choose to import to the form), the 2nd to the front otherwise it will cover over the caption text and won't look like it's working (well...you know what I mean - Bring to Front or Send to Back.) The order of Front-to-Back makes a difference for the highlighting effect.

Again, I hope you like them.
