    Resolved [RESOLVED] Run and Close Access Autoexec from command prompt

    Apologies if this is not the correct forum:

    I have an Access Database that uses an AutoExec macro to run some queries/code on startup. I use Windows Scheduler to run this job every day using a batch file.

    Question: how do I get Access to close after opening and running the code? Is this an access start up switch/option? Or is it a system command I need to run from the command prompt?

    Thanks
    Kester

    You would need your autoexec macro code to .CloseCurrentDB and.Quit the application after your code runs.
