I've got a few different Access db's...so I want to make a new DB that will have a switchboard or something to launch them from a newtwork share. The only way I can get RunApp to work is with an executable. Any clues?

Use one DB to launch other Access DB's?

Very Simple;
Insert an Image or command of your choise, use the Hyperlink function in the property of you image (Command Button), in Hyperlink Address browse to the destination of your second Database (in Link to file or URL field), click OK, Uncheck Use relative path for Hyperlink, click OK
It should work fine, the system will open another copy of ACCESS with the proper Database.

JavaTurkey: Great question. I have the same situation.
Dany527: Good Answer. But.. if I develop the "Main Menu" with the appropriate command buttons on my machine, then move the application to a client worksataion, the database I am trying to link or open will have a different destination. Any suggestions?
