Starting other Applications

Hutch

Is it possible to start up an application via Command button? i want to open another database (B) to view information while in database (A).

Hi Hutch

Yes, you can use the following code in the button's click event:-

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 Dim TaskId as Variant

TaskId = Shell(CommandLine, WindowStyle)

Check out the help on the Shell function.
