[AccessD] this should be an easy one -- on Windows shortcuts

You could put this code below in a notepad file call it try.bat and 
execute the batch file from the shortcut.
You can remove the echo command to see what is happening
However this has the annoying habit of leaving the cmd window open or 
minimized in the systray
until you exit Access.

@Echo Off
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE"  "C:\xml\Access 
XML tests\RSS xml.mdb" /compact
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\xml\Access 
XML tests\RSS xml.mdb"
@cls
