    Access to Vb

    I have an Access Db where i have created forms which users will be using. I also have a Vb application which i want to display different info. Is it possible to open the Vb App through a button click and go straight to the current record in Vb.

    For example.

    If i am in Access and currently have AssetID=Test i want to click a button and open the Vb app on the record AssetID=Test.

    Wouldn't it be wiser to split the forms and db into two parts. Thus creating a two-tier environment.

    You'll have to recreate the forms in vb but it will be nicer for the users to work with. One app to open instead of two.

    I aggree with Killazzz, but if that is not an option, you can use Shell to start your app and pass an argument via command inside your app.
