Hi,
i have secured my access file using the user level wiz.
it creates a shortcut from which i can open the db.
i want to copy that shortcut and the db to other
computers, but it keeps asking for the local db on my
desktop. even if i right click the shortcut and delete
the path to my previous local db.

how can i change it?
 
Either use UNC paths:

\\ComputerName\FolderName\FileName

or change the path to the target machine. The easiest way if all the
machines are close is to copy the shortcut and email the path statement to
everyone. Then create a new shortcut on each desktop using an altered path
from the path statement.
