A database app that I work on manages scanned documents. The documents are mostly PDF files stored on a drive on the server. The file names are made up of the client ID # from the database and some other numeric information that identifies the type of file. The Access db stores the more descriptive names of the files and which files belong to which clients and when you pull up a client in the database, a listing of that client's files shows up in a listbox. Right now, if the user wants to burn a file to CD he has to open the file, save it with a friendly name to his HDD, close it, then find it on his drive and then drag it over to the CD drive for burning. I'd like to add a feature that allows the user to select a file from the list and burn it to the CD drive directly. The code would automatically save the file to a temp folder using the description as the file name and then burn it to the CD. Saving the file to a temp folder is not a problem but I need to find code or a 3rd party tool that I can run from VBA to do the burning part. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

ImgBurn[^] has command line option to burn disc and is 100% free (no ads) and support Blue-ray disc and all windows os (including win7-64bit)!
Using Shell() function in Access VBA you can "send" command to burn disc.
