It isn't so bad to manually close and restart an application, is it?  You have to do that with almost all applications anyway.  I can't think of an application that has an "auto close and restart" feature.  If you have to have that feature in Access, you likely need to create and run an external script (batch file, VBScript, etc.) that detects the closure of Access (.laccdb disappearing) and reopen Access.  It's a cumbersome way to save just a couple of mouse clicks to reopen Access yourself.

Thanks Kevin, I just do it manually

Yeah, I agree with Kevin. Then, it's not actually that much work to just close the database and reopen it manually. But if you wanted to do it this way, you would have to Shell out to something else that would then reopen your Access database. That's how I do it with my Access Updater. It opens another database that waits for the first database to close, performs the update, and then it relaunches it and closes itself. You don't need something that complex; you can do it with a simple batch file or PowerShell script.
