I'm trying to get the .mdb file to run like a program when I double-click he.mdb
Why not just create a shortcut to the file - you can always re-name it if you want to mask what it actually is.
Other than that, MSExcel has a "Startup" folder and any files in there will be opened when MSExcel is opened. I'm no Access expert but it may have a similar setup - worth investigating the possibility I would've thought....
