How can I open my access database automatically when
Access is started. I have specified the folder where my
database resides in Tools/Options/General/Default
database folder. I have also tried to put the database
name in the Start In line on the Access shortcut. I
assume there is some way to specific a default database
to open at startup. However, I can't find anything about
this in the Access Help (online or offline) or in the MS
Knowledgebase.

Thanks.

How do you start it. You probably need to create a Windows Shortcut (Access installs Windows Installer Shortcuts - not configurable). I don't install access but it's in Help but something like this in the Target edit control
"c:\somewhere\access.exe" "c:\somewhere\mydatabase.mdb"
 
Or just dbl click the datavase or a shortcut to the database itself.
