different shortcuts for the same Access database?
Daniel
Daniel said:Hallo,
Thanks. I am now using this shortcut to open the database I am using,
which
opens the main form:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "F:\data\
wrkgrp1.mdw" "F:\data\Access database.mdb" /user X. With this shortcut
everyone can open the database without entering a password, in 'Read
only'.
This is nice. But the main form is crowded with a lot of things they do
not
need to see and cannot use. If I can open 2 different forms with 2
different
short cuts, I want to split the main form and simplify the form used by
the X
users. I hope this can be done in a simple way because I think that a
switchboard can solve this but I do not prefer this option.
You suggest using command line options and macro, would you explain how?
Thanks
Daniel
Daniel said:Thank you very much, this is exactly what I want. I made a macro and set it
to open the form that I need, then added /x name of the macro to the end of
the short cut. Super, thanks a lot..

Daniel said:I made 2 macro's which open two different forms and added the name of the
macro's to the end of these shortcuts as mentioned by Kernow Girl and it
works for both users.
