Runnning an MDE Executable?

    Runnning an MDE Executable?

    [edited from support email]
    I have an application in MS-Access. I know that MediaLab supports executable file and so did create a .mde file (access executable), but that was not compatible with MediaLab. So now, I am wondering if there is any other way I can run my application through MediaLab? This application is right in the middle of my study - ideally what I am aiming to achieve is for participants to view a set of stimuli through MediaLab, go the MS-Access application - do the tasks in the application, and come back to MediaLab to view the remaining stimuli and answer questions.

    Try creating a batch file and put the path and name of the mde file in it like this:
    "C:\My Experiments\Experiment 1\test1.mde"

    You can make that in a text file and then save it as mybatchfile.bat (or whatever). Then call the batch file as your executable. If that doesn't work let me know.
