I'm pretty new at this, but I want to create a program for distribution that will create a shortcut to MS Access on the desktop, and I want to include in the target a command line switch to force it to use a specific workgroup. I have come across some examples of code that use API calls to create the shortcut and that part works fine. Does anyone know how I can include the switch for the workgroup info? Or add it to an existing shortcut? Basically I need to add " /wrkgrp "c:\permissions.mdw" " to the end of the Target line in the shortcut I am creating.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

You might try thread711-157797. I believe you could incorporate the command line parameters.
