hello,



i use the code Application.FollowHyperlink... to open a external database

i would like to know if it is possible to open a specific form from the external database using Application.FollowHyperlink??

kind regards,

Yes. Two possible methods
1. Set the form to open at startup in Access options.
2. Or do the same using an autoexec macro

Or if you have a startup form and want a different form to open, two other methods
1. Create a macro to open that form and open the database using the macro 'switch'
2. Create a desktop shortcut to the specific form. This method works for any database object

I'm gonna say no. The link opens the app, but you need code to dig into the form and open 1 specific form.
Maybe of you can program command line parameters. Then the startup would be like:

\\server\folder\myDb.accdb /cmd 3
(where upon opening ,form 3 would startup)
