shell question

[Stanley]

I am able to open an mdb from another mdb with no problem.
The question is can I do something to pass information to the called mdb and
execute code based of it. I would like to open the application, go to a
particular form and locate a particular record on that form.
Thanks,
Stan

You can use command-line arguments to either execute a macro in the opened
database or pass an argument that startup code in that database can examine
and act on. See the help topic on command-line option, which can be access
