Script to open Access database, run macro, and persist Access instance

Question

I would like to have a script to:

1. Open an Access .accdb file
2. Run a macro within the database
3. Leave this open

I can very easily

Answer 1

If you want to leave the application open after the script completes you need to set the UserControl property to true.

dim accessApp
set accessApp = createObject("Access.Application")
accessApp.visible = true

accessApp.UserControl = true

accessApp.OpenCurrentDataBase("C:\path.accdb")
accessApp.Run "myLinker"

The Visible property is technically unnecessary when the UserControl property is true. It will automatically be set.
