Access: Shell cmd Open MDB

Question

I have been using the following command to open another MDB Access file via VBA:

Shell \"cmd /c \" & Chr(34) & strNewFullPath & Chr(34), vbHide
         


        

Answer 1

I use this function when working in Access 2003:

Public Function RunExternalMDB(MDBName As String, WG As String, UsrNm As String, Pwd As String)

        Shell "MsAccess.exe " & """" & MDBName & """" & " /wrkgrp " & """" & WG & """" & " /user " & UsrNm & " /pwd " & Pwd

End Function

This does work in Runtime mode : )
