I tried using this VB script for my button but it errors out telling me my DB is already open (I'm trying to open another DB from within my main DB form On_Click...Can anyone assist me in this, I'm new to VB....Thanks

Private Sub Command50_Click()


Dim appAccess As New Access.Application


Set appAccess = Access.Application


appAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase "E:\Source\Distribution\MSCS Disbursements.accdb"


appAccess.Visible = True


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Code:
Dim appAccess As New Access.Application


Set appAccess = Access.Application

The second line seems to be the one that's more important - it appears to overwrite or undo whatever the first one is doing. In general I don't like having two access applications open. Why not use only one? You can connect the tables from either one.
