How do I create a windows desktop shortcut icon such that it launches a
specific Access form (frmMainMenu).
 
Open up your database, and view the forms window/tab....

Now, just drag the form from ms-access to your windows desktop...it will
create a shortcut that launches that form....
 
Bob,
The icon's Target would be...
"<path>/MSAccess.exe" "<path>/Your.mdb"
In Access Tools/Startup set the Display Form: to the form you want to
open on startup.
Or...
Create a Macro called AutoExec, and put your OpenForm in there.
(Autoexec is a macro that runs whenever Access opens an .mdb.)
