I would like to programmatically lauch MS Access and compact a database. Or perhaps I could set the table to compact on exit and exit it programmatically through labVIEW. Can I launch and exit a Microsoft application using labVIEW?
Yes, you can use ActiveX for that, to start, you should place an Automation open in the diagram, select activeX class (Access application) and from there, follow wiring property and invoke nodes to do almost anything with Access. Hope this helps
