Different Interface

[demo383]

Ok i have about 30 people that are going to be using my database, and i was wondering if there is any way to create another interface that is more user friendly. So instead of looking through a list of tables, queries, and reports they can simply go through menus of some sort.

demo383,
create a form and put buttons on it.
associate tasks with the onclick event of said buttons.

Or use the built-in Switchboard Manager to create a form.

To expand longhair's suggestion...
You can use the command button wizard on standard forms to open other forms or reports. You may have a main menu form that opens forms with command buttons to open other forms or reports. Map this out prior to starting.

To make sure your application looks professional,
(mostly accessible in the Form's Format Properties)
- use a basic color and layout scheme
- remove the Navigation Buttons
- remove Dividing Lines
- remove Record Selectors
- Add an appropriate Caption to the form
