Hello,
I'm running php on a Win2000 server.
I also have an MS Access 97 database on the server.
I want to tell the database to execute a macro on an "as needed" basis by
running a php system() function, but I'm having difficulty making the action
happen.
I suspect it's my coding.
I'm currently putting the following into my php:
system("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DATABASENAME.mdb /x MACRONAME")
The server shows that MS Access is running a process, but it never finishes
(seems to hang up).
Does anyone have advice for me?
