Running external software from within a database

[Mabeline]

Hi,

I have created a DVD & CD catalogue and have created a macro that will run
the applications like windows media player etc from a form. I want to be able
to have the software start at a particular song/track on the computer and
play all the tracks in that folder without having to setup a playlist etc in
the media player software.

I can get the media software to startup without any problems but what I want
is to startup the song/track file(s) without opening the media software. But
when trying to setup the path to the song/track file that file won't run. The
path is correct. I have tried running the song/track file in a dos window to
see if it will work without having started the media software and it works
fine.

Can anyone explain why this wouldn't do the same in access and what I need
to do to get this working properly.

Thanks
Mabeline
