JATO Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Trying to automate a Database install. The MDB file fires off a VB macro that creates an ODBC connection. Problem is.. that normal users don't have Power User or Admin rights to create the ODBC connection.How can I make AutoIt run the ShellExecute command as a Admin? I know RunAs works for EXEs... but not MDB files....right?Otherwise I have to log the user off and log in as admin myself to install, which defeats the purpose of the AutoIt script.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks ~J.

Richard Robertson Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Did you ever try just running the program that uses mdb files? Send it as a command line parameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JATO Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 DOHH! Didn't even think of THAT.. THANK YOU :"> found that MSAccess.exe supports /switches "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE" "c:\database.mdb" /user _____ /pwd _____ OR, I could just use the RunAsSet command in AutoIt and use "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE" "c:\database.mdb" Thanks a bunch for pointing out the 1 thing I overlooked. ~J.
