Variables in Shell Command

[midlothian]

I have this shell command:

Call Shell("""" & ShellPath & """""NETWORK AND FILENAME""""""")

and also:

Debug.print ("""" & ShellPath & """""NETWORK AND FILENAME""""""")

(They are identical).

when I add Call Shell to the beginning of the debug window output, it
works. However, the code doesn't work from VBA.

Can you post the results of the Debug.Print. I think that
will be more helpful to find the issue.

It seems like you have too many quotes, and too few spaces.

This shows in the debug window. When I add 'Call Shell' to the front,
it works:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE ""NETWORK AND
FILE NAME""""

I should add that Access is launching when I run it from VBA, but not
the file. When I run it from the debug window, both launch OK.
