Create a short cut on desktop using VB6 for a Access DB
I need to be able to set up a desktop short using VB6.0 for a Access Database. The file is downloaded from a cd using VB6.0, to check for the directory and file. I would also like to have the program setup a shortcut on the desktop using I think a Window API program, but I dont know which one or how to code it.
Please help. Thanks, Larry

The best way to get this done without having to resort to Win32 API calls is to simply use the Windows Script Host functions.
Check this page for more info: http://www.rb-ad.dircon.co.uk/rob/e...velop/index.htm Remember... if you can't figure out a way to do something with intrinsic functions in VB, before resorting to third part com components or the Win32 API, try the desktop scripting component. Fast, free, and bundled already with the OS.
