Hey,<br />
Im building an access 2003 application and I want to have a button on a form run the shutdown command. Its going to need to use runas to escalate privledges to an admin account. I had a script to do it before but a loss of exchange lost it. <br />
<br />
Basically its somethign like this<br />
<br />
user presses button<br />
<br />
Script calls the runas command <br />
eg runas adminstrator Password shutdown -f<br />
<br />
something like that.<br />
<br />
Any questions please ask<br />

Shutdown Script in Access

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
