Coding Button To Run Batch File

[specious]

Is it possible to run a batch file from within Access? If so, any tips on how to do this. Thanks in advance.

Note really sure of the exact details behind it by try the following Shell function in code...

Call Shell("c:\FileName.bat", vbNormalFocus)

This will execute the .bat file from within your access code sub or function.

There is actually quite a lot you can learn from the Help files too.

From your code editor, highlight the word 'Shell' and press F1. This will bring up the help feature with more info that you can read up on for more options.
