Open MS Access

[darude]

Hi All,
I was wondering if it's possible to open a MS Access application from a command button on a form in another application.

Thank you in advance.

I would like the command button in a form to open the application and allow a user to work from there. Is that possible? This is in an effort to integrate some of our applications.

Take a look at the Shell command. It will allow you to open another Access application from the first (which is what I think you are asking) but it will not PAUSE code in the first application. So if you are expecting some sort of result from the second application, that will probably not work for you. If you are simply trying to use one Access application kind of like an switchboard for various other Access applications, the Shell command should help you out.
