Hello. I have someone who has the following command line in her shortcut (and it worked on her previous computer):
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE" "F:\QC DB\QC WORK STATION.mdb" /WRKGRP "F:\QC DB\Secured.mdw"
(yes there really are spaces in the path and filename. Grrrr)
However, on her new computer the "WRKGRP" switch is ignored and the program uses the default C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\system.mdw instead. No error messages are returned when the shortcut is executed.
As a test I tried copying the MDB and MDW to c:\ and changed the shortcut to point to them, but still had the same problem. So that at least rules out a network issue.
As another test, I temporarily renamed her default workgroup (at C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\system.mdw) and then copied her Secured.mdw to C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\system.mdw and then her program used her MDW just fine. So I guess that rules out her MDW file being corrupted/bad.
Does anybody have any ideas as to why her original shortcut seems to ignore the "/wrkgrp" switch?
Thanks.
