Is there a way to start a different Form from the database based on an
external shortcut? Perhaps I can created a shortcut to the database file and
add a parameter to start a particular form?

I have created a simple address book / event reminder program. When I open
the database, I would like full functionality of the database but I would
like to also run the database on a scheduled basis where it opens a form to
show me upcoming events and that's all.

Thanks.
 
this could be as simple as a command button on your event reminder form to
open the rest of the db (your address book, etc.). Or, if your db is split,
a different frontend that you can open, with the form you want, for regular
your regular operations.

Dragon, from the Database window, simply drag a form to the desktop. It
will create a shortcut that will do exactly what you want.
