use msaccess instead of access and normally you do not need the path to access.

How would the notepad.exe know where the file is? In my example, would I use Run Program "Access.exe C:\TestDB\DataBasetest.mdb" Or would it be something like Run Program "Access.exe DataBasetest" Neither of those seems to work. Thanks for the help. I am also a big fan of the help menu.:) alan -----Original Message----- From: Jakob Lanstorp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 10:03 AM To: Alan Gunn Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: MI-L Run Application >From the MapBasic help: The following Run Program statement runs the Windows text editor, "Notepad," and instructs Notepad to open the text file THINGS.2DO.

Is it possible to start another non-MI or non-MB application from a mapbasic application? For example, I want to have a button on my tool bar that will launch an access database outside of MI. I have tried a few things but all I get is "could not execute - program could not be run". Any hints?
