Problems launching File

Hello, I am trying to launch an ACCESS Database using a button with the following script:

LaunchFile("explorer.exe","\\\\GLOBAL03.olol.ololnet\\Invests\\Invest Statistics\\Databases\\SA","SA Stats.mdb")

The name of the Access database I am trying to launch is "SA Stats.mdb" and the path in the server is:

\\\\GLOBAL03.olol.ololnet\\Invests\\Invest Statistics\\Databases\\SA"

I must be doing something wrong because the scripting is refusing to launch the file. Please help me.

Hi Cybernaut,

I know nothing about databases, so my reply may be completely wrong...

Should you be using "/" forward slashes instead, since it is a server over the internet?

Why are you trying to launch explorer?

And also, LaunchFile only takes 2 parameters. I think you want..

Code:

LaunchFile("\\\\GLOBAL03.olol.ololnet\\Invests\\Invest Statistics\\Databases\\SA\\SA Stats.mdb")
