[AccessD] Scheduled Access task - URGENT

Hi Gustav / Stuart / Andy - thanks for suggestions - 

I can't get it to work with or without the quotes around the Autorun parameter.

This is Win XP Pro - so maybe there is a difference between Win 2K and XP Pro here. The mdb I am using is completely empty - vanilla - I started with an empty mdb and just added one startup form when I couldn't get the more complex one to work. 

My syntax works as a shortcut, but simply does not run as a scheduled task.

To confirm that it is a Win issue, could you send me your Win2K line syntax with an mdb which it opens? 

Much appreciated

Kath

  Hi Stuart

  OK, I didn't test it myself, neither have I never had the need.

  I guess that leaves Kath with a problem somewhere else ...
