My coworker created an Access database for our company. However, no one likes
how all the new windows pop up as you navigate through the database. Is there
a way to make it more like a website where you can press a forward and
backward button instead of going into the separate windows at the bottom of
the screen?
 
There is a setting in the Tools > Options menu. Uncheck the Windows In
Taskbar checkbox.

You can even do this programmatically for anyone who opens the database.
Just put this in the On Open event of the first form that opens:

Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsInTaskbar", False
