Open a DB from the switchboard of another DB

Tempy

Good day all, i am a newbie to this game and would like to know if it is
possible to open other DB's from the switchboard of another ?
What i would like to do is have one icon on the desktop and from this
"MainDB" be able to open other DB's from it's switchboard, instead of
have 5 icons on the desktop.
If it is possible, i need some help please.

thanks in advance.

Sure. You can do what Windows does when you double-click an MDB. Here
is some code:

And bookmark that MVP site! Just so you can always go back and find
something else you're not "shure" about. (Or you can post your question
again in this newsgroup and hope you get something more than a URL to the
world's most brain dead developer site.)

Good suggestion, XMVP, you must have been taking your smart pills.
world's most brain dead developer site.)

And, note to Tempy, this [persona | sockpuppet | alias] never answers
questions, just trolls, so you can rest assured that he knows just about all
there is to know about "brain dead developers". As a matter of fact, there's
a rumor going around that he is President of the Brain Dead Developers
Association.

Hmm. Tempy got the answer he was looking for, but you seem to have driven
him away with your trolling.

What a shame.

People used to come here for answers, get the answers they needed, and stick
around. Fortunately, most still do, despite the trolling. But, I guess you
are succeeding, in a small way, in your quest to make this newsgroup useless
for its intended purpose.
