How do you launch an access database file from a batch script?
09:44 26 Feb 2015

I have about a dozen users that all access this same Access Database, which is making updates painful since they all have to log out when I update the file. To solve this, I would like to have them use a simple launcher, like this:

DatabaseLauncher.bat

start Z:\AccessDatabases\SharedAccessFile-version1.accde

Then, I will update the version in the launcher so that users can close the database and open it at their leisure for the new features.

Running the script produces this error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Running the command from the command line works perfectly.
