Running Macros outside of Access

Is it at all possible to run a Macro outside of Microsoft Access, perhaps through a DOS prompt or a small script of VB or something? It'd be nice to not have to open a 30,000+ entry database and just run out macro outside.

Thanks for any response,

I use windows scheduler to run access macros end then exit access at predetermined time of the day and week. This is the command line for Windows Task Scheduler
C:\PathToAccess\Msaccess.exe" "C:\PathToDB\MyDB.mdb" /x macroname

Watch for word wrap
