Is this command part of some scripting facility in AutoCAD? Anyway, are you trying to administer a "Get" of some sort because I don't actually see a target in that string among the characters ... Typically bigbox apps like those of Autodesk and Wolfram and Matlab, etc have system variables which the interface leverages to skirt calls to windows paths and that "mdb"-containing string looks as if it might be such a variable. Do you think you've spelled everything correctly?

Also, since you've got a system path as your goal, check that directory and verify that the .mdb you seek is actually going to be there when you administer this command successfully.

Anyway Cad reply the return value in command window when input any code if code have return value.
