You can use the tools->startup settings.
(you should make your own menu bar to really make this work well)
Download the 3rd example here, as it shows how this can be done:

grab the "click here for access 2000 merge example with ms-access interface

You can then take a look at the tools->startup settings to see how this is
done.
