Launch .net app using SHELL command

[bdtmike]

We have a .Net application that needs to be launched from Access. This
..net app uses one-touch deployment for program updates. The shortcut
on the desktop does not point to a particular executable but, rather,
the folder containing the app. This is similar to the desktop
shortcuts created for the Office apps.

Can the Shell command launch this properly or do I have to use some
other method?

Do you simply open the folder to launch the application?

You can use application.Followhyperlink,

eg:

application.FollowHyperlink "c:\my documents\myword.doc"
or
application.FollowHyperlink "c:\my documents\myword.pdf"

So, what does the shortcut look like?

application.FollowHyperlink "c:\my documents\myfolder\"
