For the number of forms & reports I have in one of my larger databases over
100 forms and about 130 reports, both would be pretty horrible. I use a
treeview type structure, with branches, smaller branches and twigs as it
were, with the branches generally being menus and sub menus and the twigs
down to the individual forms or reports. Depending on the user who is logged
on, different menus will appear, in as much as some menus, sub menus and
forms are not shown to less privileged users.

I can do pretty things with the treeview menu like change foreground and
background colours of the various items or use bold type.

Each item in the menu, optionally, has a description of what it is for.

If that gets too difficult, I have an alternative method of finding a form or
report by typing in a few letters from anywhere in the description and it
will show all forms or reports that contain those letters. So I, for example,
I type in “ea” it will find things like End Year or Clear Old Data
