Burn CD from MS Access
Hi,
I'm looking at adding a burn files to CD option in my MS Access database. My database includes the path to the folder with the files which need to be burned to the CD.
The code I have found is below, however, it doesnt seem to work. It errors out at :
strDriveLetter = Application.InputBox("Driv eletter : ", "Driveletter", "D", Type:=2) & ":\"
Can anyone help?
