Access 2000 runtime/shell/mde??

If you are using the Access 2000 Runtime how do you shell to a *.MDE file?

Shell "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Microsoft Access Runtime\msaccess.exe /runtime C:\database\project.mde"

I have tried this a couple different ways but keep getting

"Unrecognized database format 'C:\database\project.mde'."

You can use the ShellExecute API call, that should work...

Thanks that worked, but inside the MDE file is a form when you click The Exit button it closes all the forms etc but the access window is still open and does not exit completely and close...

Anyone know why?

Thanks!

i'll hazard a guess that your missing a line of 'Application.Quit' somewhere... [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
