Using A Link to another app via Access Switchboard

[askgail]

I need to present an Access Switchboard to users with they log-on to their
pc. One of the options would be a link to the financial software. Can I do
this?
Thanks in advance.

What you need exactly depends on the version of Access you are using,
if you want to create a run time version and/or if you plan on
distributing a run time version. If using Access 2003 take a look at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011208861033.aspx

Otherwise you can simply create a shortcut to the Access database and
place it in the Windows Startup folder. If you have the Switchboard
set as the startup form then it should automatically display when the
database starts.
