[pnguyen]

Hi everyone,

I am new here. I have a question and if any experts can provide me with some answer it's greatly appreciated.

I am using window 7 x64 MS Access2007, and I'd liketo know how to SHELL the Window Fax and Scan from MS Access with one button click event.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I tried to use SHELL but I got
"File not found"

Show your shell call. The shell function doesn't like paths with spaces in them so you need to add chr(34) before and after the path

Thank you for your response.

Here is what I used:
Shell "C:\Windows\System32\WFS.exe"

Althoght I tested out with
Shell "C:\calc.exe"

it works just fine.

Okie - I have no clue as to win7-64 and where the various apps are - some may exist in more than one version, I guess. The way to test could be to see if you can awaken the desired app from the command line. If not, then the shell won't work either.

With the command line I type just WFS it works.
Well, thanks you for your reponse again.
