Dashboard solution for launching multiple Access databases...???

[Steve P]

Hello all,
I am developing a dashboard that will be used to launch multiple Access
databases located in different locations on our network drives.

Does anyone know of a good way to develop this? I was envisioning a form
that upon pressing a command button, would launch the requested database.


Any other ideas???

Steve,

I noticed that nobody answered.

A few thoughts.

You might want to clarify for your yourself exactly what you want to do, and
the possibly adjust your terminology. If your mean literally launch total
databases, probably the simplest way to do that is something shortcuts on
your desktop or in a folder on your desktop.

Possibly you really want to open or get data from TABLES in multiple
databases. One way to do that is to "link tables" (in the database that has
your main form) and then draw from those linked tables in your database that
has the form.

I'm sure there are a zillion other ways; that's just one that I use.
