I would like to send out a database but only allow users to access the forms
tab. Is this possible?

Yes.  Would you care to take a look at some of the other postings here?
Lots of useful information and links.

When I read and responded to your posting my eyes conveniently missed the
word "tab".  The answer is "no" but you should really be hiding the entire
database window from your users and let them navigate using forms.  You hide
the db window using the startup options.
