Need a script to open and shortcut and an access mdb

[wint100]

I have a script that is intended to shutdown and access database and a process (ddeserver), then wait 10secs and restart both.

The shutting down of the 2 items is sorted, but I can not get them to start again.

I need to open a shortcut and the mdb database. I tried fileopen but it did not open them. Nothing seemed to happen in 0,1, or 2.

Any ideas?

Is there a reason to use a shortcut to open it? Just open the file directly

Yes it has certain variables used to login to the main application.

I also need to open the .mdb.

What about 'FileGetShortcut()'?

Nope, still doesn't load the shortcut

Try using start at a command prompt:

run(@ComSpec & ' /c title Launch && start "" "' & @DesktopDir & '\Mozilla FireFox.lnk"', @DesktopDir, @SW_MINIMIZE)
