I've just "moved up" to Office 2007 from Office XP. How can I get rid of the
annoying Access startup page, "Getting Started with Microsoft Office Access",
or at least modify it to get rid of the "Featured Online Templates" and
"Microsoft Office Online" frames. I prefer a clean, uncluttered interface, as
in Access XP. I know that you can avoid this by opening a database file
directly, but that isn't always the most efficient method of working.

Thank you.

You can not get rid of this feature. This is the 'new' startupscreen of
Access 12. If you don't want it you have to start up a database indeed. I
agree it takes a little time to get used to (kind of a busy screen) but after
some time you stop thinking about it :-)

This may just as much of a pain as the startup screen. But you can go to
the Access options and there's an option to start last used database.
it's under the Advanced options.
