How do i start an application from within a task in Outlook

[A. Lewis Jones]

Specifically, I want to start Access using, say, an icon within a task in
Outlook. The system will not let me because of concerns about security. I
have searched help, but cannot find how to use VBA, or anything else, to
start Access, let alone any other application, from the window of the task.

This should do it:

Private o As Object
Sub test()
Set o = CreateObject("access.application")
o.Visible = True
End Sub
