    How to Call an Access daabase


    Howdy, I am by know means a programer, but I have been trying to program an Access database for sometime. It is just for me. I have several questions, so here is the first one. I would like to have a form or switchboard to call other access databases. What I mean is, i have couple of databases that i would like to have a button to call the database. The main form would be winsuite. This would have buttons to call winbooks or windvd or any other databases. Is this possible and how can it be done. Thanks for any and all help. Dale

    Why not just create a link to the tables in the other databases.

    Thanks but I do not think that is what I need to do. What I want to be able to do is call couple or more databases from one menu. There maybe 3 0r 4 programs I have tried to build that I want to push a button to call them. Thanks for any and all help Dale
