Button to launch an application

Hello all developers

I am trying to create a button that will launch ACCESS,  start an APPLICATION and pass the /User USERNAME /pwd PASSWORD string to open the application.

In the Actions tab of the Button, under Launch, I can manually enter the required string and the application opens correctly but if I try to pass the string as a variable the launch fails.

Why does the variable not get resolved to the string in this tab?

The actual string in the the FileName box in the Action tab should be:

APPLICATIONName /user UserName /pwd UserPassword

I tried setting the variable vVariableString as

= 'APPLICATIONName /user ' & UserName & ' /pwd  ' & UserPassword

and as

'APPLICATIONName /user ' & UserName & ' /pwd  ' & UserPassword

=vVariableString nor =$(vVariableString) seemed to work

any ideas?

Thanks

Try it with quotes: '$(vVariableString)'
