Creating a shortcut for an app. with code

[WP]

Does anyone know how to create a shortcut using VBA code?<br>
<br>
I need to create the shortcut like this because I am programming an install routine that copies a master database to a project directory. The path and name of the new database are chosen by the installer.

You may need to use a Professional Installer program to install your Access app which will create an icon.<br>
VB6 Pro's Deployment wizard will create an icon but you would have make a VB .exe to launch your access app and then have the VB app quit. Thats a Rube Goldberg approach.<br>
the deployment wizard works with .VBP project files only.<br>
Take a look at Dan Applemans WIN32 API book from Ziff Davis (ISBN 1-56276-446-2) it may shed some light too. If its an API call it's in that book.
