We are in a transitional stage between a legacy Access97 and Access 2003 version rollout. In order to view each version, the user has to switch between Workgroups. After doing this by hand, I just found that you can set up a link to the individual databases which will automate the Workgroup Join... function.
The Target would be as follows:
psuedocode
"access_location" "db_location" /Wrkgrp "wrkgp_location"
Example
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "X:\pspdb97\pspdb97.mdf" /Wrkgrp "X:\pspdb97\pspusers97.mdw"
This seems to work quite well. An advantage is that you do not have to walk your users through joinng the group when you finish the upgrade to the new version or to run various dbs with associated Workgroups under either version of Access. You would just create a shortcut with the revised Target info for each db.
Thanks.
