Dear Dear Sir,

It's not easy to recommend a program for this application without knowing
more about it. Many people use Excel where Access would be a better base.
No pun intended. It doesn't do animations, but you can build menus (on
Forms) that will appear automatically. It can be made to look like a custom
application without writing any macro code. Much more difficult in Excel,
which excels (again, no pun intended) in analysis, rather than
entry/storage/retrieval/output as with Access.

I would be extremely grateful for any suggestions to help me start this
personal project.

I wish to change my multiple worksheet Excel file so that it runs more
like
a powerpoint presentation or Website index page.

My intention is to have an initial MENU screen consisting of buttons.
Selection of each button will then open a new screen containing a specific
worksheet requiring either data entry or one that automatically performs a
calculation(s) using the data previously entered.

Each of these screens must contain both NEXT and RETURN buttons that will
move onto a new worksheet calculation or return to the MENU Screen.

Is there a suitable program that will enable me to achieve this? VISUAL
BASIC has been mentioned.

I would like to include an opening animation but this is not essential as
it
could always be run separately.

I do not want to limit this program by being internet based.

Thanks,
John
