Can you default to Favorites folder on Startup

Dear Access gurus,

Is it possible to have a database default to the Favorites folder rather
than the Tables objects when you open a database?

Appreciate any advice you can provide :0

Regards

More information is required.

What would it mean "to have a database default to the Favorites folder rathe
than the Tables objects"?

What would that look like?

JD2,

Access will default to the last open *section. So if you are on Favorites
when you close the database then that is where it will be when you open it
again. There is no way that I know of to change that behavior. Of course,
you could just use a Switchboard or Main Menu as it is not general practice
to give access to the database container.

It had to happen sooner or later. I've gotten so used to referring to Access
2007 that I forgot there ever was a favorites folder.
