You can write the macro code to open and close the previous form. Then call it from the button click.

VB Code:

'Behind Main form:
Option Compare Database
 
Private Sub cmdCustome_Click()
    DoCmd.OpenForm "Customer", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal 'Show desired form
    DoCmd.Close acForm, "Menu" 'Close Main form
End Function
 
'Behind Customer Form:
Option Compare Database
 
Private Sub cmdBackNav_Click()
    DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name 'Close current form 
    DoCmd.OpenForm "Main", acNormal 'Return to Main form
End Sub

and also tell me how to open my main page when database is open first time ...
thanx in advance

Tools > Database Utilities > Switchboard Manager... This is where you can specify a startup form for when the db is opened.

If you open your main form in design view and click on the cliss button you will be able to view the clode for the form. This is where you will place similar code to what I had posted.

hay robDog,
