HI
I am trying to shell a database from the My Documents folder and I am getting the error "Can't open c:\My.mdb".
I assume this is because of the space between My Documents.
Does anyone know a way to get around this or how to let Access 2000 know their is a space in my pathname.
Code Example:
Dim stAppName As String

stAppName = "MSACCESS.EXE C:\My Documents\MyDatabase.mdb"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tanya
