[AccessD] Compile from the command line

A call to SysCmd(504, 16483) will compile a VBA project.  That coupled with
your startup idea should take care of John's problem.

Warning:  Syscmd(504,x) is un-documented.  Your mileage may vary.

Jim.

Include an Autoexec macro in  your database which calls a startup function.
In your startup function include the line.

If Command = "Compile" Then Application.Quit

Then in your batch file, ue the switch /cmd "Compile"

The database will compile itself when the Startup function is loaded and the
function will then 
close the database.
