firstly i have no idea if this is possible, but thought i'd ask nonetheless

i've just been installing an application that's basically a front-end to a database relating to company car taxation

becasue it relates to tax, each year there's a specific new database so at the moment there's a new icon for each year to keep them separate

the application is only installed once, the difference between the icons is that each one references a different database in the target field of the icon (ie 04/05 icon references the shared directory called 04_05, 05/06 icon references shared dir 05_05 and so on, you get the idea)

this works perfectly fine, but i just thought if it were possible to feed a variable into the target field for the icon based on...i dunno.....vb form with a combo box listing the shared directory names (which are obviously named according to the years they correspond to) this would be much easier and neater

so, is this possible & if so, any ideas how / what application or language i'd need to look into to achieve it?
