Shell Command won't compile

[George Moore]

Hi

I'm using Access 2002 and can't get the Shell Command to compile

Anyone any idea which VBA reference needs to be ticked to enable compilation ?

Spent hours reading threads this afternoon but couldn't find any which covers this issue

Thanks in advance

George

It should be automatic, but try "Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation"

Hi

Thanks for your response

I already have "Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation" ticked in the VBA references and I have no disabled features which I why I am a bit mystified why the Shell Command won't compile.

I have managed to do a work around by writing a .BAT file and then calling it from a Macro via the RunApp command but I still remain puzzled

Thanks again for your response

Regards

George
