batch files

hi

if i have a batch file

and it runs some thing, like

"C:\Program Files\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\database.mdb"
EXIT


it leaves the program open til it exits...

is there some way i change it to make it open the program non-modally?

 

[Matt_B]

it all depends I believe on whether the programme has that switch option?

When you say non-modally I presume you mean without using the GUI?

no i mean, open it, but continue running the batch file
