Hello!

I am looking for a way to run Access from VFP. Here's the situation in a nutshell:

I have a VFP app minimized to the system tray doing several things, one of which will (hopefully) be to fire up an Access application which performs an import without user intervention, then quits on its own. I just have to run Access and pass it a few parameters and away it goes.

From the Start->Run menu, it works great, but I cannot find a way to get it to work from VFP without the DOS shell. Using the RUN or ! command does not handle the parameters correctly that I pass.

Anybody out there do something similar that can help me out?
