Trying to use WinCron to schedule automatic repair of a Microsoft Access Database but cannot get it to work. MS access has command line parameters like /Repair that you can start it with.

Tried:

-command -shell C:\test2.mdb /Repair
-command -shell "C:\test2.mdb /Repair"
-command msaccess c:\test2.mdb /Repair

Get:

Failure during shell of: C:\test2.mdb (-shell C:\test2.mdb /Repair). --The system cannot find the file specified.

the path and filename are correct, so not sure what the error message means.

Then tried:

-command "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\msaccess.exe" c:\test2.mdb /Repair

What that does is starts MS Access and tries to open a Database called Files\Microsoft.mdb. So the paths are getting messed up.

Help?

Hmm, I'll look into this. In the mean time have a look at this .

Here someone is using WinCron to do what you want. Let me know if this works for you.
