I just want to be able to open up access with an existing file. I dont need to open channels for data between autocad and access. I tried with autolisp (startapp "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/MSACCESS.EXE") and got it opening access but couldnt get it to start with the file I want open.

Thanks

Just create an object, select it, right-click and choose hyperlink. Browse to the mdb file. Then select it later and right click, hyperlink, open.
