Hi Rocky Forget the macro thing. Use the command line switch /cmd to feed a parameter to the Access app. Use the function Command() to read the parameter(s), if any, passed at launch. Use Command Line Parameters under Settings, Advanced to simulate that a command line parameter was given when you open the mdb. /gustav > I want to run a function in an application (emails out reports) > automatically.

Or is there a better way to do this?
