Hi All,

I need to design a home page for my project am doing using MS Access.
The lists tat i have should be displayed the same way as the vba express menu listing...

Something like a label, if i place the cursor over the label it should display the list of forms under the selection..

Can anyone help me out in this....

When you say 'home page' are you talking about a Data Access Page, or are you talking about building a Form?

Hi,

Once i login , homepage will be the form...
there i will be having many options like the beloe one...

Data
-Customer
-Supplier

Reports
-Morning
-Evening

Checks
-Sanity
-Deadlines

Under "data", customer and the supplier are the two foms from which i choose either... similarly for other cases...

If i place the cursor on Data it should give the options...

Hope this is clear..
Please help me out in designing a form like this...

Honestly, the only way I can think of doing anything even close to what you're asking is by using comboboxes on the form. I would suggest placing a 'Go' button next the combobox and put this code behind it:

Dim cboName As String

cboName = Me.ComboBox '<<<change to name of combobox

DoCmd.Close '<<<Close current Form
DoCmd.OpenForm cboName '<<<Open form with name selected from combobox
