Run code AFTER Access closes

I guess somehow the batch file knows how to wait for Access to close... I'll give it a try.

Either that or the batch file is too slow to start, which allows Access to quit before any problem happens. Let us know how it goes...

Works like a charm.

Congratulations! Glad to hear you got it to work. Thanks to Bob! Good luck with your project.

It must be the ping line - it waits 2000 milliseconds. I think June7's code would do the same thing but I wasn't following that code as easily as Larson's. Thanks everyone for the input.

He uses the ping command to put in a delay.

I think you could also use this: timeout /t 2 >nul
