You can minimize the Access program itself and work with pop-up forms. 
Perhaps a pop-up form with subforms in it that you change the 
recordsource on whenever you need to.  I've never tried to make a 
complete app this way though.

ACTION		MENU_BAR	MENU_NAME	ACTION
DoMenuItem	Database	Window		Hide

You can also create a ssplash screen . Create a bitmap image and save it
using the same name of your database.Make sure this is located in the same
folder as your database. i.e. DatabaseName.bmp & DatabaseName.mdb
