How Do You Launch Access With The .mdw File From A Shortcut?

[drosenkranz]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a user so they can use a Windows 95 shortcut to open a database for them. My database has its own security file but I can't get the following command line to work.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msaccess.exe" /wrkgrp "\\MyApps\INPUTCLIENT.MDW" "\\MyApps\inputclient_list.mdb"

The error message says it can't find the security file or it is opened exclusively by another user. My path is correct and the files are in the directory, and their names are the same those in the command line.

Any ideas what's causing it?

Thanks,

Dave The 2nd mouse gets the cheese.

in the shortcut use this...

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "c:\dir\secure.mdw" "c:\dir\dabase.mdb"

hope this helps...
