.exe Icon

Hello Everyone,

We are using a database that I've written in MS Access 2010. Access is used on the front end and MS SQL 2008 is used on the back end. I need some help with the starting the database from the users desktop. I've given the db a unique name and would like the user to be able to click an icon on their desktop to go right into the program without having to go through MS Access startup and file selection. What do recommend?

Thank you for your assistance.

Just make a shortcut to the file. It should open straight up.

Create a shortcut that points to the MS Access 2010 .accdb file. If it is on a network location use the UNC name (\\servername\folder\filename.accdb (file://\\servername\folder\filename.accdb)) not a mapped drive.
