wint100 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Is there a reason to use a shortcut to open it? Just open the file directly The Vollatran project My blog: http://www.vollysinterestingshit.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
