How can I make a 'front page'?

[imnewtoaccess]

When I open my database, I want a 'front page' with icons that have links to
my forms. I've seen this done, but don't know how to do it. Can anyone help
me?

First things first, terminology

It isn't a front page but rather a switchboard that you wish to create.

Another great method is to simply take a sample database and disect it to
extract the switchboard.

For this purpose you may want to take a look at any of the dbs on the
following site

This has been very helpful! Is there a way to change the way the switchboard
looks when you open it?
