    Run batch file without Access installed

    I have the following batch file:

    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "c:\temp\Newmdb.mdb" /x Test_Macro
    TASKKILL /F /IM msaccess.exe /T


    I want to run this batch file on the server but the server does not have Access installed. We are not allowed to install Access on the server.

    Is there a way to execute the batch file and run the macro within the Access database WITHOUT Having MS Access installed on the server?

    No. To run Access you need to have Access installed on the system.

    You may be able to download an application which can read the database but you'll prolbably need to install it and I doubt it will run macros.
