A master form allows a database to automatically open to a main menu form displaying the title and buttons to navigate to other forms. To create a master form, design a new form with a label control for the title, save it as "frmMaster", and add a button to open another form like customers. Finally, set the "frmMaster" form to open when the database starts through the Access Options.
