I need an exe in stead of mdb

[Nirious]

Before anyone starts with get runtime and its not possible etc. let me explain

I expect the user to have ms acces installed.
I have a program that can be loaded from the main program(written in c++, don't have access to the code), by clicking a button. Now the main program only supports "exe"-files to startup. So no mdb.

The user usually still has win98 and prolly doesn't have the dot.net framework installed. So I will need some help of someone.

I need a program in vb6 (no .net) that opens my .mdb file in access

has anyone done this already or knows an other way to do it?
I don't have vb6

It shouldn't be hard, 5 minutes work or so to write a program that reads a line in a textfile (containing the path to the mdb) and opeing it in acccess.

thx for helping

Nirious,

Access is a .EXE file! Can you not pass the command line to start Access and
open your database (and also your security file if needed)?

Nope, can't be done. The main program won't accept anything that isn't in the likes of c:\maypath\myfile.exe

Even batch files won't work.
But it's ok. I went to someone who still has vb6 and made the proggy.
The full 7 lines of code

But still thx for the reply
