Access and Autoexe

One of the wonderful things with technology for the masses, is that the masses utilize it.

So if you get yourself caught in a situation where it has been years since you have had to touch an access db.

One can supress the running of autoexe with pressing the shift key on open.

Also the command below will open the macro you desire.

MSACCESS myDB.mdb /xMacrotoRunonOpen.

"One can supress the running of autoexe with pressing the shift key on open."

FYI: there is VB code that you can execute in your Access DB to *not* allow holding shift to bypass the autoexe. Simple Google search should find it. (Just be sure not to run it on your source file because you won't ever be able to get back into it...)
