Thanks for the paper, great examples. It could be useful to have more posts like this, and maybe even more example databases of just UI. There is much information about designing Access databases both for beginners and developers. but is a serious lack of information on how to make your application look great.

I'm still stunned by the Showorks application that was shown here a while ago. it seems impossible to acheive in Access. So please, more UI!

I always overload my sites with visual effects, but the customers like it.

Nice! I was glad to see it was in a 2K3 .mdb. I'm still having to make a lot of my clients'apps usable with 2K3 as well as 2K7, so I have to be careful not to include the 2K7-only stuff in them.

Oh well... Maybe if a few years...

...By the way. If you want to be really wow'd and amazed at a 2K7 full-blown, high-quality commercial app, download the free 2-week trial of CattleMax CS (www.cattlemax.com) It's a vertical market run-time .accde package that will blow your socks off! Looks like a .Net Winform app on the outside!

Now if I could just find a book on how to do apps like that!
