RunApp to Launch WordPerfect

K

Karen_H

I am using a macro in Access XP to launch WordPerfect Version 9 (2000) and
execute a macro upon starting WordPerfect. It works fine if WordPerfect is
closed when I execute the macro, but not if WordPerfect is already open and
running in the background.

My macro:
Action: RunApp
Command Line: wpwin9.exe /m-merge.wcm

If WordPerfect is already open and running in the background when I execute
the macro, the WordPerfect icon on the taskbar starts flashing. When I click
on it to switch windows to WordPerfect, the WordPerfect screen opens but the
macro "merge.wcm" doesn't execute.

Any ideas would be appreciated and considered a wonderful holiday gift!
Happy Holidaze,
Karen
