Question : How to start Microsoft Office Communicator when it is not running?

I am using Access 2003.  I am using Communicator 2007  but have the problem that I cannot start it, if it is not running.

The communicator does not seem to work with a CreateObject like other office programs.

So how can I start it?


I know I can use Shell - but there must be an "Office Way"

in that case, you need to recreate the form :-(

but try this too, might work and saves you the  time

from the old db
        Application.SaveAsText acForm, "FormName", "C:\folderName\FormName.txt"

to get it back to your new db

Application.LoadFromText acForm, "formName", "C:\folderName\FormName.txt"
