Enhance Your Forms with Transparent Buttons

In today's Microsoft Access tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to make transparent buttons that you can use to put over other things in your forms, like images and controls, and do lots of cool, fun things.

Benjamin from Muskego, Wisconsin (a Platinum Member) asks: I have designed a nice, pretty main menu as an image using Photoshop. I want to use this for my database's Main Menu, and I've drawn the buttons into the image. However, I don't know how to make them clickable. Is there any way you can show me how to achieve this without programming? I love Access, but I don't want to be a programmer and I don't want to invest time in learning VBA.
