Invoke executable 1

[lilboi]

Hey guys,

I am trying to make forms in access, except i have programmed something in VB(found it easier to) and need access to invoke that executable on certain parts of the workflow.

Do I use macro for this? Can any1 shed some light into this?

Thanks,

And Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas!

Open any module and search Help for "Shell". The example in Help is:

' Specifying 1 as the second argument opens the application in 
' normal size and gives it the focus.
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\CALC.EXE", 1)    ' Run Calculator.
