How to Create a Main Menu Form in Microsoft Access with Buttons or a List Box

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will demonstrate how to create a main menu for your database using two simple methods. For beginners, we'll create straightforward buttons to navigate forms and reports. For developers, I'll introduce a list box method that dynamically pulls menu options from a table, enabling easy updates without altering the form design. We'll cover the essentials of setting up each method, including form design tweaks, adding command buttons, and utilizing list boxes for more advanced functionality. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned developer, this tutorial provides concise, practical insights for building functional main menus in Access.
