Running java in "Call Shell"

[Guest]

Hello all,

I am wanting to call a java program in a shell
Call Shell("c:\mq\java File2Msg")

This does not work, however I can call this:
Call Shell("f:\calc.exe")
And it works, so I'm guessing something to do with the java. Any help would
be appreciated

Sorry, posted in wrong area. I'm going to let this message ride a day before
cross posting this in the right area (access programming). Hopefully some of
you querie folks can help me.

If you type c:\mq\java File2Msg in the Run... box (under the Start menu),
does it work?

I'd have expected that you'd need to include the complete path to File2Msg:

Call Shell("c:\mq\java ""C:\Data Files\Folder\File2Msg""")
