After much time trying to do the lessons with little to no success, I thought I would try my access 07. Everything worked great. My question is how to make all this work on Microsoft Access for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2209 Build 16.0.15629.20152) 32-bit
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks, Bob U

If it is working in Access 07 it should work in o365. What error messages are you getting? What is the code you are using? Need more info please.

	Richard Rost @Reply 4 years ago
Yes, please be more specific. See Forum Posting Rule #2.

Also, did you read / follow the Addendums on the lessons page?

	Robert Uhrlaub OP @Reply 4 years ago
The issue is with my computer. I tried the same shell function on my computer at work running Access O365 and Note Pad opend fine. Could it be a security issue?

Did you receive an error message? Is the syntax correct? Make sure there are no spelling mistakes. Make sure the File and Folder exist.

	Richard Rost @Reply 4 years ago
Could be. Are you running the database from a Trusted folder? Need more info.

	Scott Axton @Reply 4 years ago
What is the OS for the computer it is NOT working on? Win 10 - Win 11 - other?

	Robert Uhrlaub OP @Reply 4 years ago
Trusted folder was the problem. Thanks, You guys rock!
