Yep try:

DatabaseName$ = "C:\Database.mdb"
Set acApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
acApp.Visible = True
acApp.OpenCurrentDatabase (DatabaseName$)
acApp.DoCmd.RunMacro "YourMacroName"

Also...

be sure that you have a reference (Tools/References) set to the Microsoft Access n.m Object Library.

If i want to select * from a query, how can i pass in the required parameters for the query?

Thanks

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.
