You can automatically open a database, run a macro, supply a user account name or password, and other options when you start Microsoft Access by specifying options on the command line.
You can specify command-line options either for Microsoft Access on the Windows Start menu or for a shortcut. If you specify command-line options for the Windows Start menu, Microsoft Access will start with those options when you use the Start menu. If you specify command-line options for a shortcut, Microsoft Access will start with these options when you use this shortcut. To create alternative ways to start Microsoft Access, you can create multiple shortcuts and put them on your desktop or in a folder, or add them to the Windows Start menu. Search Windows Help for "shortcuts" for more information.
