I am trying to go from my main menu in one application to a main menu in a different application.  Is there a way to do this?

Two options come to mind.
1. DeferredOpenApplication("Data\CDU Clients.db")
2. @AsynchShell("C:\Users\Carl\Desktop\Sesame Icons\CDU Clients.lnk")

In the 2nd option, the *.lnk file is a Windows shortcut containing the following in the Target field:
C:\Sesame2\Program\sesame.exe "Data\CDU Clients.db"

Option 1 opens the application in the same Sesame window (closing the application that called it).
Option 2 opens the application in a new Sesame window (leaving you with both open at the same time).
