I've searched for this and haven't found the answer yet, so here
goes. I'm using multiple versions of Access, all 2000 or later. Is
there a command line switch that will produce the same result as
opening the file in Windows while holding down the bypass (shift) key?
I have GoToMyPC set up on a client's computer, and when accessing it
through my Pocket PC I am unable to transmit the holding of the shift
key while opening the database. If there were a command line switch I
could use that to open the database without the restrictions imposed by
the Tools->Startup screen.
Thanks,

I suggest you include an obscure "backdoor" to design view... some
unintuitive graphic or text that accepts a Click and executes code to show
the database window, for example.

Thanks Larry.
I already have a button to show the db window, but without the bypass
key I don't have access to the full set of menu bar options (File -
Edit, etc.).
It's not a big problem for this particular application, since most of
the default menus are available anyway. I was asking primarily for
future reference, in case I ever need it on a database I didn't design
(no "back door") or one with more signifigant restrictions on the menu
bar choices.
Anyone have any other ideas on bypassing startup options without a
keyboard shortcut?
Joshua Ammann
There is no way to do this from the command line. What you might be
able to do is create a 'starter' application that starts the first one
and install that on the client machine. Then you could use your pocket
pc to start the 'starter' application which would in turn start the
main application while simulating a depressed shift key. The code at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0068.htm uses automation to run an
access app bypassing startup. Your 'starter' application could use
this code along with something like the following to invoke it:
Sub StartWithShift( strMyApp as String)
Static app As Access.Applicat ion
Set app = fGetRefNoAutoex ec(strMyApp)
End Sub
With this approach, your application will start in a separate window
via automation as though you had depressed the shift key and will live
until you close it manually or until you close your 'starter'
application.

Hi All,
Am I correct in assuming that the VS.Net Build Command (Ctrl + Shift + B)
just internally invokes the command-line compiler that you would have to use
if you didn't have VS.Net? And when you do compile using VS.Net, is there
any way of seeing the compile commands it generates?
TIA,

hello,
i work on a private enterprise intranet. we now have a business need
for opening other desktop applications, from my web app's click events.
(my application is not entirely complete, so when user's click some of
the absent-functionality, we need the desktop app to fire up). some of
these apps are started via the command-line.
is this possible? i imagine so, even if it meant working w/ ActiveX
controls or whatnot.

Hi,
I am writing a command line application and I would like to implement a
functionality similar to the "!" command in ftp.exe (that comes with most
windows distros) so that I can leave my application running on the background
and return to the cmd prompt, then I can come back to my application by
typing "exit"
any ideas?
