I'm trying to add a scheduled task (in Windows Control panel) in which it
will run an Microsoft Access 2000 application. So far I have been
unsuccessful.

When I add a schedule task it pops up a list of executables to pick from (or
I can browse). Obviously just running Access won't do what I want. So how do
I run an mdb?

I've tried editing the program to run (Properties->task tab->run box) and I
have tried just the path of the mdb file also

C:\WinNT\system32\command.com "start C:\orthoped\dsaccess\AutoBackup.mdb"

both have failed. What do I do?
