How to Shift-Load application programmaticall y

[Tom van Stiphout]

Hi All,
Here is my code:

Dim appData As New Access.Applicat ion
appData.Visible = True
appData.OpenCur rentDatabase "c:\test\test.m db", False
' Do my thing with the appData automation object.

At the OpenCurrentData base line, the target database is opened, and it
runs its AutoExec macro. I don't want that. I just want to load the db
as if I held down the Shift key while loading it.
How to do this using VBA code?
I looked at SetOption but did not find anything useful.

Thanks,

-Tom.

If you can modify the Autoexec macro itself, you can make it look at the
UserControl property of the application instance and exit early if it's
False, which would be the case when the instance is opened via automation.
