running a DOS executable

[bill]

Is it possible to run/call a DOS executable from within
Access VBA? If so, please give some instructions.

Thanks in advance.........bill

Check Access VB Help on the Shell() function.

If you want Access to pause and wait for the shelled DOS process to complete
before Access continues, then see The Access Web article:
