I'm very new to MS Access but I do understand the basics. I'm currently interning for a company who wants me to design a database that includes all the name of past projects, along with different books and vendor catalogs. They want this database to be searchable so that they can enter key words and then have more info on the book/catalog such as what's included in it and it's location within the library.
So....my question is how can I make it so that when the database is opened there is a popup that automatically comes up that simply just has a search bar/button that will bring up the results for key words that are entered. I'd also like another button which can be clicked to have the form come up to enter in a new catalog or book.
What I'm eventually going to do is make it so that the actual database window is minimized or hidden in the background so that only the "popup" is showing to give it a cleaner look. I have figured out how to do that but I'm just having trouble with the actual popup
I've included pictures of what the different tables/forms are that I'm working with currently. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading!
