I haven’t used this option in a few years and I forget the command line layout for using a specific mdw file for a database – I anyone can help me it would be appreciated – I cannot find the answer in access help.

If I want to run the following program

“C:\Program Files\ProgDir\Program.mdb”

and the system.mdw file it uses is located in the following directory

“C:\Program Files\ProgDir\System.mdw”

what do I enter in the startup command to make the program reference the correct system.mdw file

Thank you -----
 
This is from an actual application icon:

"C:\Program Files\OfficeXP\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE"
/wrkgrp C:\BookingManager\BMngrSEC.mdw C:\BookingManager\BMngr2000.mdb

Application exe (space) /wrkgrp (space) application
