Get rid of ODBC dialog

[elsacarlsson]

The application is opened from a MS Access database. Earlier there were just one way to open it, which worked perfect. But now I need to open it in two different ways, with different startup forms. To do this I use (from Access, with VBA code) the command 'shell' and then send some specified openargs with it. (the database path and an emailaddress)

The problem arrives when I try to open the application from the database. A ODBC dialog (Select data source) appears and the program can't continue.

I don't want this dialog and I havn't told it to open, how do I get rid of it and get the app to work properly?

If you try to open a database named "" this happens.
There is an option dbDriverNoPrompt that stops the dialog. Instead you get an error.
