Access not launching vb .net exe

[Hfnet]

I have created a vb .net exe to backup an mde, copy an updated version from the network, and start it.

I am trying to call the updater.exe from the mde using shell:

strLaunch = "C:\Program Files\CoData\Dbase\updater.exe"
shell strLaunch, vbNormalFocus
DoCmd.Quit

However, this appears not to be launching the updater.exe. what am I doing wrong?

Someone else asked the exact same question above. I don't know what's going wrong, but try this API and see if it fixes the problem:

Weird, I get a out of memory error whatever I try, do I need a reference or something for that api code?
