How to run an external Program

[Shadow]

Hello,

How can I run an external program within MS-Access?
I need to run windows Calculator by clicking a button in a form.

At present the users of a database have to click Start menu and select RUN and type "Calc" to run the calculator. Is there any way to run external programs from MS-Access?


I appreciate any kind of help.

Put the following code in the OnClick event of the button:

Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\CALC.EXE", 1)
