How do you create an database?

[Guest]

I Get an error message saying can't find the database you specified, or you
didn't specify a database at all. Specify a vaild database name in the
command line, and include a path if necessary. What do I do to fix this?

You probably have runtime version of access. You can't create a new database
with it.
You may be able to open an existing access database with it, especially if
one was designed to work with runtime.
The easiest way to open it is to create a shortcut with command line like
c:\path\to\access.exe c:\path\to\mdbfile

Hi David,

It sounds like you are double-clicking on a shortcut in Windows Explorer that may have pointed to
a valid database at one time. If so, right-click the shortcut, and then left-click on Properties
at the bottom of the short-cut menu. Does the target point to a valid file? Try clicking on the
Find Target button. Does it find your database?
