Exporting Data to Minitab

[Jody]

We have a statistical analysis tool called Minitab. The question came up
"can we add Minitab to the export menu in Access 2007?" My first response
was "no, because 1) I don't think there is a way to add programs to this
right-click menu and 2) because it is not a Microsoft (or Microsoft
supported) product, I doubt integration would be possible."

This got me thinking though, Windows allows you to add programs to the
right-click/open with menu, is it possible to add programs to Office Export
menus? My assumption is obviously "no", but I would like to hear from those
who most likely have more knowledge in this area than myself.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Are you attempting to export data directly from Access to Minitab? I'm not
aware of a way to do that.

If, however, you could export data from Access to a file format that Minitab
can import (e.g., text-delimited, Excel, ...), would that work?
