Menu Driven App's ?

[Ray Dubb]

This is an old timer that is trying to move from the good old day's to the
new wave of socalled OOP programming. I am working with Access2000 and have
put together the tables, forms etc. of a simple database system to keep
track of products being shipped and received. What I can not find in any
publication anywhere is how in the world do you create a menu driven app.
using access. I can do it using the old tried and true Fox Pro or Clipper
etc. but can't seem to be able to find any info on this subject for
Access2000. Can anyone help me out here. I would still use the older
programming language's but Mr. Gates has made that impossible so here I am.
Thanks for Listening to my sad story, if you can shed some light on the
subject please do.

Thanks again

On the main Access menus, there is Tools|Customise. The functions in there
allow you to add an entire new set ( or sets ) of menus, and tie them to
whatever you want to do. You can also turn off the existing standard Access
menus, and totally customise the app. Takes a bit of work to get it right,
but the help file has good examples.

Many of us just use unbound forms with command buttons or other controls
that allow users to navigate between forms and reports.
