The syntax of the conditional compilation arguments in the Project Properties dialog is tricky. It
does not recognize keywords such as True and False, and seems to accept only numeric arguments.
You cannot, therefore, use text strings, variables, or intrinsic constants as arguments.
Separate multiple arguments with colons.

Programming Microsoft Access Part II
Command-line arguments
The options dialog you open from the File menu (click on the large round Office button in the
upper left corner of the main Access window, and select the Access Options button in the File
menu) provides a number of interesting options. Click the Advanced tab and scroll down to the
Advanced section near the bottom of the dialog. Notice the Command-line arguments text box
at the very bottom of the Advanced section.
Many applications use command-line arguments to influence how the application behaves at runtime.
You could, for instance, add a command-line argument to an Access database application that indicates
whether the user was an experienced or novice user.
