Hi. This is the scenario: I have a db which launches a Main Menu upon entry using an autoexec macro. The Main Menu allows the user to open various different forms. However, some users would prefer to forego having to drill down using the Main Menu to get to a form they use on a regular basis (plus, they don't use any of the other forms listed on the Main Menu). Is there a way I can create a special shortcut for these individuals which overrides the autoexec macro and opens up the form they are interested in?
I tried having a separate db for them that only contains an autoexec macro with a shell command to open the desired db, but this launches the desired db's autoexec (and thus the Main Menu). Is there a way I can reference the form in the shell command?
I should also mention - I'm interested in making the db an mde file for several reasons, so creating a shortcut to form itself (by dragging the form icon to the desktop) is not an option.
Any thoughts on how I might be able to do this?
Thank you much!
