Hi Beth,
Is the .NET solution compiled to a .exe file? If so, you could create a procedure that would use Shell to run the .exe

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Can an Access function initiate a .NET ETL?
I may be using the wrong terms here, so please bear with me.
We have a SQL backend that runs through an Access front end to allow the
accounting department to access a large data file that is send by a
financial institution.
The data is sent every day in a pipe delimited text file. Our DBA has
created an "ETL" process in .NET to process and upload that file into the
SQL database. I don't know very much about that process, but I know he uses
a staging table to get from the raw data into the main SQL table.
We have this ETL scheduled to run every day at 11:00am, but if something
fails and the accounting department has to fix the file, they have no way
to initiate the upload themselves. They have to call the DBA, who is the
only person in the entire building who knows how to do this and where it
is, to initiate it for them.
Is there a way to have a function in Access that can initiate a process
like this? Ideally there would be a button that the accounting person could
press to start the ETL.
I apologize if I have left out anything, I am not very knowledgeable about
this method and our DBA is documentation challenged.
