Can Access perform batch files?

[Tiffany]

Can Access perform dos commands like activating a batch
command to copy files from one drive to another? If so
how? I will need an example if possible. Thank you in
advance. Tiffany

You can use the VBA Shell command to run external programs or batch files.

On the other hand, VBA also has a built-in FileCopy command.

You can find details for both in the Help file.
