Another way is to automate Access. Here's an example - you need to set a
reference (Tools - References) to the Microsoft Access x.x Object Library.

Dim AcApp As Access.Application

Sub ShowAccFrm()

Set AcApp = New Access.Application

AcApp.Visible = True

AcApp.OpenCurrentDatabase "C:\Dick\db1.mdb"

AcApp.DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1"

End Sub

Hi

I need to give access the focus from excel but i also need
to load a form, that is not in the startup properties of
access.
I can do this with hyperlinks but am wondering if there is
a nicer way to do this.

Thanks
Stuart.
