[AccessD] Access VB question

I didn't write the original post, but it said the issue was opening an
instance of Access, with VB/VBA, and then opening a database, without the
startup running.
 
As far as I know, there are only two ways to do this.  One method is to
disable the startup from with the database itself.  ie, have it look for a
specific flag in a record, or have it check for a specific command line
argument, so that when it starts, the startup code checks that 'trigger',
and then stops...effectively 'bypassing' the startup stuff.  The other
method is to actually open the database and use a 'sendkeys' approach to
have the shift key held when the code opens the database.

I know, but without giving it too much thought, I thought it might be a
place to start -- don't really know what the real problem is.

Yes, but that only sets whether the shift key bypasses the startup or not.
It doesn't actually trigger it.

If you could someone set the Access database setting the AllowBypassKey
property before you try to open it in VB? Do you have to disable it from
inside VB?

I may be mistaken, but nothing in that code bypasses the startup stuff.

Does anyone know how to programmatically open an access database in VB,
bypassing the startup options?
