Hi Arthur, Yes! What you do is set up a /cmd parameter at the end of the shortcut's target field. Something like: /cmd NoAutoRun The NoAutoRun parameter will pass into your app as a string value, but don't enclose it with apostrophes in the shortcut's Target field. Then, when your code runs automatically on startup, you can use that parameter to branch your code. Like this: If Command() = "NoAutoRun" then Exit Sub '-- code stops running Else Call NormalStartupRoutine End If Good Luck!

I frequently forget to do that. It's not a big deal, I just exit and then re-enter, holding the key down, but it happens often enough that it got me wondering. -- Arthur -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
