SysCmd 603, "path","path"
I found the above solution for creating MDE files from code, in this user
group some time ago and have been using it and it has been working
perfectly.
However recently it sometimes just doesn't work. I am using it in a module
were I transfer some objects from  database A into database B then I compile
the database B, compact B and try to make a MDE from B.
I have manually stepped through the code and it just steps over the SysCmd
603 as if it were a comment!
Database A is on a Win98 workstation Access97 and database B is on another
Win98 workstation Access97. This whole process runs from the first
workstation, database A.
Is there any way to trouble shoot this? I can find absolutely no information
or help for SysCmd 603?!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Leonard,

That's what could happen with undocumented features. <g>  The only issue
that I'm aware of is that you can't make CurrentDB into a MDE this way, but
it makes sense.

As for trouble shooting, probably only someone who knows the internals can
help you with that.  Most of the others will simply be
shooting-from-the-hip.

The SysCmd is totally undocumented, use at your own risk, if it reformats
your hard drive then just assume that it was time for you clean that machine
off anyway.

Ok, with that said... <g>

You will probably find that it does not work trying to make an MDE of a db
you have just imported objects to or even exported objects from. In fact, it
is recommended that you ALWAYS start a new session of Access via automation
to call it.
