I have created a database (sana.mdb) with logon userid password feature using a mdw file called sana.mdw.

Then I have created a shortcut linking to sana.mdb. The problem that I have is how to link the sana.mdw using the shortcut method and not using the manual method of the Wrkgadm.exe

So, how to we name the shortcut's target?
 
You have to call the executable and not the mdb when using the /wkgrp. Try a line like this:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msaccess.exe" /wrkgrp C:\sana.mdw C:\sana.mdb

You will need to change the directory names to match your scenario of course. Joe Miller
