Question Open external application on start up

[eddie_j_derbys]

Hi All,

Please can someone help - I'm trying to get an external application (MapInfo workspace) to open when I start up an access database. I understand this can be initiated using an AutoExec macro, however I'm unsure what code to use.

Thanks,

Ed.

Generally speaking FollowHyperlink uses the Windows default application to open a file (e.g. if you point it at a .doc file it will open with whatever your default word processor is for .doc files).

I would imagine it works the same way for .exe files, it would correctly run the file.

Worth trying.
