I just built a batch file with the following line in it and it started the
database...

c:\test.mdb


If you have a more specific question, let us know.

If you just want to start with defaults, code the name of the .MDB.

Otherwise, something like this:

START /B /HIGH /MAX "'Returns' Startup" MSACCESS.EXE %AppPathLocal% /ini
"%IniPath%" /wrkgrp "%SecPath%" /Excl /Cmd "%AppDirLocal%"

All the parms bracketed by "%" need to be filled in or deleted.

So you'd wind up with:

START /B /HIGH /MAX "'Returns' Startup" MSACCESS.EXE "Report Rail.dbm"

Although I suspect "Report Rail.dbm" needs to be qualified further...as in
"C:\Whatever\Report Rail.dbm".

Finally, is it really ".dbm"? or is it ".mdb"?
