Answer 1

Technically, yes there is a way to open an MS-Access 2003 database from the command line without running any of the startup macros, although it does not involve the command line arguments: If you hold down the Shift key while the database opens, it will not run the AutoExec script (and suppresses a few other things). This also assumes the AllowBypassKey property has not been set to False.
