I have designed several access applications for my company. I would like to create a simple access database that allows users to choose from all the access applications that I have created, say from a combo box. How do I open another .mdb/.mde file from another access application? I've seen it done before but I dont know how to do this. Someone help!!!!!! :(

Hi,

You can use the vb command

Shell()

to run Access for 2 time with the choosen application. For more help see vb help about shell

Have a nice day!
