I've created a simple macro that I run from a shortcut outside of Access. It runs some VBA code (working), then closes the database (working), then quits Access (not working). I don't get an error message (such as "'Quit' not available). It simply doesn't close. My macro commands are below. I call this macro via the shortcut with Task Scheduler. I have a batch file in my task that will not run until Access closes.
