Access Switchboards

C

ckrogers

Since everyone who uses a specific database starts from a shortcut ... is it
easy/possible to start with a different switchboard (different options) for
different people?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks, Joseph. I think I can easily figure out and use the startup
options....

As for splitting the database, I like that idea. But doesn't having a
front-end loaded on each user's machine get cumbersome when you have an
update that is used by multiple people in multiple locations?

Thanks for the link ... but I haven't been able to open that page. Is it
still working for you?

::sigh:: Okay, I thought I could easily figure out the startup options ...
but, unfortunately, I haven't been able to make it work. Here's what I'm
using for my shortcut:

C:\B.R.A.C\B.R.A.C..mdb /x "Employees"

I've tried it with and without the quote marks around my macro name ... I've
tried it with and without a "Display Form" switchboard listed in my startup
options ... and I've tried a couple other things that I can't even remember
right now. The "Employees" macro just uses the OpenForm action. In each
case the database starts the way I would expect it to if I hadn't used the
"/x macro" switch. Can you tell from my shortcut what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!

You need to include the full path to msaccess.exe at the start of that.
