Macro command to open desktop mainframe icon

[tbmarlie]

I can't find a macro command to open an icon on my destop. Double
clicking the icon on my desktop connects me to a mainframe. I'm
trying to replicate that in a macro.

Thanks

Tbmarlie,

You could try with a RunApp action in your macro, with the Command Line
argument entered the same as you see in the Properties=>Target of the
desktop shortcut.

There is not target not shortcut tab for this particular shortcut.
There is a location (c:\document and settings\all users\desktop ...,
but when it put that in the command line for the RunApp application, I
get an error message saying that my database can't invoke the
application using the RunApp action.

Tbmarlie,

I'm sorry, the only way I know how to do this is via identifying the
program that is being run by the shortcut. Maybe you can find out from
the maker/vendor/helpdesk of the other program.
