[AccessD] Bypassing Default start up behavior

Thanks Michael

Got as far as

". . . recreate any of the subkeys located under the \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE . . .\Access subkey that contain values that you want to modify . . ."

at which point I find no subkeys that seem to contain values that I want to modify.  Since those startup settings are specific to the individual mdb, I wouldn't expect to find them among the registry entries for Access, would I?

Maybe I'm missing something.  Can you set me straight?

Thanks!

Don
