Open a Calculator

[Emergency Power]

I have a button on a form that opens the windows calculator using a
hyperlink. I get two warnings before the calculator opens. Is there a better
way to open the windows calculator and without warnings?
Thank you for your time,

Why not simply integrate a calculator form into your db? Something like one
of the following should do the trick.

Thank you for your response, but the calculators do not work in Access 2007.
I got windows calculator to work but I have to go through the macro warnings
first. Any other help is appreciated

There is an example using ShellExecute in AC2003 on my site. There is
example code of how to use SendMessage to retrieve the value from
Calculator. It does not work with all versions as some Windows Calculators
used a Label control instead of an Edit Control for the display.
Nontheless, ShellExecute should get you past the Hyperlink warnings.
