open a database from another database

[jo]

Hi I would like to open a database from the one I already have open. Can you
tell me how i can do this? It would be ideal to open from the switchboard
with a button?
Can any one help please
thanks

From a command button on the switchboard:

Application.FollowHyperlink "PathToFolder\DatabaseName.mdb"

Hi Ken thanks, I went with your first choice as I tried the Hyperlink but I'm
not keen on the warning about links coming up everytime., so the code was a
better chioce for me. Thanks Jo
