Open another database

[Michelle Logan]

Ouch do I feel stupid. I finally found the 'Open File" step after looking over it for 2 hours. Oh, well I will just chalk it up to age.

Hello,

I think this is a scripting question?

I was given a new database from a teacher so that we can track room scheduling a little easier. We have placed this database on our server in the same folder as our original Student database.

What we would like to do is have a button on our Student database that would open the Room Scheduling database when clicked, but we can't seem to find a script step to make this happen.

We thought that the Send Event script may be what we need but it seems to try to find a file on a drive from a network machine.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to open the Room Scheduling database on the server when we click a button on the Student database?

Thanks, I hope it is cooler where you are than down here in Atlanta!

M.L.

Another possibility is the Perform Script script step, which could be used to call a script in the scheduling file. Useful if you want to do more than simply open the file.
