Good suggestion Desquinn, thanks. That ALMOST worked.

It fixes the problem of the batch file remaining open. It runs, opens Access and the file, and closes the console batch window.

However... the full command I need to run looks up an access security file too.


START /MAX "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" C:\path\filename.mde /WRKGRP T:\security.mda


When I run the kix or batch file without START /MAX, it opens the file fine. But when I add the START /MAX command, it opens access and starts opening the file, then gives me the error: "Your User Type is not setup correctly, Please contact system administrator".

T:\ is a mapped network drive by the way. But thats not an issue I don't think, as the file works fine without START /MAX.

Any ideas?
