Opening by using a shortcut on the desktop with Target Path "C:\Test.mdb" FunctionName(ByVal x AS Long) ????? If you want your function to be called when the database opens, go to Tools|Startup and look for the combo box labeled "Display Form/Page". Select the form that you want to open when your database opens. Then, in the Open event of that form you can call your function. hth, -- Cheryl Fischer Law/Sys Associates Houston, TX > Opening by using a shortcut on the desktop with Target Path > "C:\Test.mdb" FunctionName(ByVal x AS Long) > ????? Would like to Pass a value into an Access database using a "Shortcut on the Desktop". Create a shortcut to an Access database then right click and look at the properties, look under the "Target:" box. The path for example would be "C:\Test.mdb" ValuePassed. So when the user clicks on the shortcut it will pass a value to the form (or Function)in Access. I'm using the AutoExec macro to open the form right now. Just don't know how to get the value from outside to inside access.
