Open Different Forms in the same database with the use of desktop shortcuts

Hi Guys is there a way of having different shortcuts to open different parts of the database on the computer desktop. the reason being i have an admin section of the database (as a form) that users are not allowed to enter however i have certain users who need edit the data through taht form, so having a shortcut or some way of opening the admin form without going to the database home form would be awesome. Cheers

Not using the same database. I assume that this is a split database, since you're talking about multiple users, and these types of DBs simply have to be split. What you could do is have a second front end, that includes the form in question, and have it display the form on open, using

Tools - Startup - Display Form/Page.

You can then have a shortcut to this front end.

An alternate would be to password protect the form in question so that only "authorized" users could access it.

The database is hosted on a network share hosted by a server, all the users (21 of them) have access to the share to help manage documents in the company, only the managers are allowed to access the DB and change documents, the users are only allowed to view the db and run queries. there is a home form for all users, and i want to add an admin form, however the users are not allowed to see the admin form, i have an integreted c# system that opens the dbs when the users logon and that takes care of authenication accessing the relevent sections, all i need to do now is get it so the application opens the admin form when a button is clicked in c#
