Dragging .MDB to MS Access icon doesn't work...?

A couple days ago, I could drag a .MDB to an icon that starts up MS Access and
Access would start with that .MDB opened.

Access still starts when I doubleclick the Access icon...and Access still starts
when I doubleclick the .MDB icon....but when I drag the .MDB to the Access icon
nothing happens.

Worked two days ago. Doesn't work today. Anybody know what gives?

(my agenda is that sometimes I want a certain .INI file TB used when opening via
the icon...)

Um yeah....In case you haven't figured it out, Microsoft sucks. I'm going to be kicked back in my chair eating popcorn and watching football 10 years from now, while all you clowns are scrambling to rewrite all your code because Microsoft upgraded all their crap and nothing you wrote 10 years earlier works. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Microsoft is unreliable. Try opening an Excel 95 spreadsheet you wrote in...

I've been googling for a couple of hours now and tried some different things, but I've been unable to get the icon for a distributed access application to do anything but display the default microsoft access icon. I've included the icon with the distribution and specified it as the application in the icon in the wizard, but no love from Access. Any help with this will me much appreciated. Thanks, Sam90

There are a number of things about using unmanaged resources in Windows Forms programming that is unclear to me. In C++, if you loaded an icon resource using "ExtractIcon()", the resource was valid until you called "DestroyIcon()". If you didn't, you had a leak. In C#, I need to load icons from unmanaged programs (.exe, dll) at run time and I want to make sure I'm not leaking resources, but it's not clear to me how to insure that I'm...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
