I'm launching an MS Access .mde file from a .bat script by coding...

FileName.mde

...in my script. The problem is the script halts at that line until FileName.mde is closed then finishes and closes the command window. I need it to keep going and finish the script after the above line to open the .mde file executes. Is there a command I can use to launch the .mde file that would complete after it opens?
