access a "form" from the desktop?

Hi there,
I'm making a data base for our farm. Much of the data entry will be done with forms by people who don't know how a database works. My idea is to make a "master navigation form" with buttons that will open specific forms in the database. for example: The master form may have buttons that say "enter new inventory" or "enter shipping info" or "print shipping report". If possible I would like make this form available on the desktop so folks (half of whom don't speak English) won't have to open the db, click forms, and the find the "master form". Is this even possible? I can try to explain this better if it doesn't make sense. Thanks, -Kevin

Actually What I want to do is similar (to the best of my knowledge) to having a "control panel" or whatnot boot up when I start the database that can sen users to different tasks. ie. pulling reports or entering data. Also I can't find the specific URL's for each form, report, table, and query. The closest I can get is the db itself.
