Ping Button

[Guest]

I'm trying to create a button that will ping the IP that is held within a
record. I have found the button that runs a command, but that command will
have to include the variable of the IP. I would like to do the same with
tracert. Any help?

See whether what Randy Birch has at
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/internet/tracert.htm or
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/internet/tracerthost.htm helps.

(Obligatory warning: Randy's site is aimed at VB programmers. Because there
are significant differences between the controls available for forms in VB
and in Access, many of his examples can't be ported to Access without
requiring some changes. I took a quick look at these two pages, and nothing
jumped out as a potential problem in Access)
