As mentioned before this is simple enough to do w/a VB or JScript.
No compilation ... just code, save and run ... When you got it the
way you want, you make an icon on the desktop. With a very few
lines you can fire up AB with whatever Database you want as the
default and set a variety of other options.
Check into AB Automation ... it's a beautiful thing.
