Launch Access From URL Link John Lane 12/13/2008 1:08:02 AM I want to launch an Access application from a variety of URL links embedded in a Word or PDF document, and enter Access with a variety of parameters. I know that msaccess.exe can have a parameter list, but how do I pass the list from a URL link, or is it even possible to pass any parameter with URLs? Thanks.

Re: Launch Access From URL Link John Lane 12/13/2008 2:37:01 AM Yes! I was just fooling around and figured that out! If the Word document is converted to a PDF tho, isn't all that lost (I don't have PDF writer so I can't try it out)?

Re: Launch Access From URL Link "david" <david[ at ]nospam.au> 12/17/2008 5:48:24 AM You can create a shortcut to a form or query, and link or embed that. Creating a shortcut to a particular record is more difficult only because Access does not already provide a method of doing that: is that what you need?
