This is hopefully an easy one for someone out there. I am trying to start an application (Cognos Powerplay) using MS Acess 97 and run a saved Powerplay report. I can use the Runapp command to start the application but cant run the report. Any help? I have also tried using command buttons in a form and the same thing. Can start the app but cant open the report.

OK. I got this to halfway load the report. Using the command button syntax:
stAppName = "C:\Program Files\Cognos\Cer1\bin\pwrplay.exe C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\Test.ppr"
It now starts the app and opens a locate file browse menu and stops. The file name is right there in the window but it does not select or start the file.
Almost there. Any thougths?
