Default Looking for a concept.

I am new to Access database coding. I finished my first database (on Office
2003) and wanted to give it to my company's employees. It is a survey with
one form calling the survey (another form). What I am looking for is to have
the form open without having the all database windows started. In another
word I want to show the user only the form I created, This intro form will
then call for the survet itself from another form.
In another word I wanted to separate and somehow link the forms to the rest
of the DB. Is this a concept that is possible with Access 2003?

Can someone point me to the right direction? if there is a direction..

Thanks a lot.

P.S. I can secure my DB by using the tools/Startup but I does not look clean.

Default Looking for a concept.

What I do with my confidential databases is set up a custom menubar. So the
only way people can get around is a password protection that will not allow
users to view any of the toolbar info. Now this is not perfect and most
likely a 3rd grader with the slightest bit of knowledge can hack through
it... but if you set a password protection on the VBE and look on the
internet for codes that disable the opening of databases with the SHIFT key
it can be pretty well protected and if someone could hack through that then
that must be some serious information, haha.

If you do this you can set up the surveys to open up when the database opens
up, also when this form opens up it has a form load command that locks all
the toolbars options users aren't allowed to use.

Basically all they can see are the surveys they are allowed to enter, and a
sign in option in case its an admin or you.
