No need to use a DLL at all.  Just use the Windows "WinExec" API to start
it.  ie,

    WinExec( "access.exe", 1 )

assuming that Access's file name is "access.exe" (which I don't actually
know!).

I have to admit that I don't use VB, but from reading this newsgroup I get
the impression that you can call Windows API functions from it.

Best wishes,

Chris
