Possible to execute an .exe file from within Access through VB Code

[everblue]

Dear All,
Is it possible to execute a standalone executable file (.exe) from within access VB Code.

I want to execute the 'Net Send' command to send an alert message to another PC if a new record is inserted in the database.


Thanx

Yes.

See Access Help for "Shell".
