Idle Mind - your first suggestion worked. Gee, and I spent all that time scrubbing Netmeeting off my hard drive. Oh well... &nbsp;Incidentally, I had tried your second suggestion earlier, but it didn't work; do you think that's because there are no spaces in the path?<br />
<br />
Scott - thanks, I had tried your suggestion as well without luck.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I am trying to open an msaccess database from within another. I'm using the command<br />
<br />
shell &quot;c:\program files\microsoft office\office10\msaccess.e<wbr />xe /c:\path\filename.mdb&quot;<br />
<br />
THe problem is that not only does it open the database as I wish, but it also gives me two &quot;Online Meeting&quot; error messages:<br />
<br />
1) The Online Meeting feature requires Microsoft NetMeeting 2.11 or later. You can either ... etc.&quot;<br />
2) Unknown network error.<br />
<br />
At first it was also opening NetMeeting, but with considerable difficulty I was able to finally remove it from my hard drive and registry.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />

Problem with shell cmd

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
