[AccessD] Shell /cmd

Group,

Can someone interpret this?  This line of code is behind a button on a
PowerPoint slide.  As I understand it, the purpose of the button is to
allow the user to acknowledge that they have read the material.  This
acknowledgement is tracked by an entry into a database.  What exactly
is happening here?  They are obviously checking for an Access
version...but what I'm looking for is a short explanation as to how
this line of code is shelling out to Access and making an entry into a
tracking database.  What am I missing?

Watch for major line wrap.

Thanks for any enlightenment,

Mark
