How do I open a MS Project Plan thats stored in mdb from cmd line

[Brian Cummings]

I am trying to launch a project plan that has been saved in the MDB format
rather than the mpp format. If I use the following:

WINPROJ.exe ProjectPlans.mdb
(where ProjectPlans.mdb is the database where multiple plans are stored)

It launches MS Project and the import wizard listing the plans stored in the
MDB.

What command line statement would I use to launch a specific plan in the MDB?

In Project, use File/Open, and point to the *.MDB file. MDB files can
hold multiple projects, so it will then ask you wish project you wish to
open. I wouldn't call that a wizard, though.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. My question though, is how do I open
the plan from a command line. What I am actually trying to do is shell out
from a MS Access application and open a specific plan stored in a different
MS Access database. I can shell out using the command that I stated below,
but rather than opening a specific plan, it shows me the list of plans that I
can select from, just like using the File/Open procedure that you stated.

This worked for me in a cmd window:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 2003\OFFICE11\WINPROJ.EXE" "<C:\Documents
and Settings\myWork\My Documents\Temp\Project1.mdb>\Project1"
