Default button in Access Client Services data transfer

Please set the default button in a .dtfx or .dttx as "Start transfer" instead of "Open Data Transfer Request."


Use Case:

I have many saved .dtfx icons and .dttx icons, and I often have one hand on the keyboard while opening them. I'd like to start the transfer immediately by hitting Enter as soon as the icon finishes opening. I could do this in Access for Windows because its default selected button was "Start transfer." In ACS, if I hit Enter, I get a file selection dialog box because the default selected button is "Open Data Transfer Request."

    You can save the Data Transfer request so that it runs immediately without you have to hit anything.
    Properties->Startup (tab)
    Check "Run transfer request automatically"

    Let us know if that satisfies the requirement.

    Attachment (Description): In the .dtfx window, the "Open Data Transfer Request" button is surrounded by a dotted line, which indicates that it is the default selection.
