mdw file creation

have some apps that need security and some that do not. the ones that do not, i don't want to log on with a
password.
so, i created an mdw with the necessary users and then created a shortcut for the application with
the properties command pointing to this mdw. construct was thusly
"C:\My Documents\Unity\safe haven\Pediatric system -security test.mdb" /wrkgrp "C:\my documents\unity.mdw"

i then created another mdw with different information. i then put that mdw in the properties line on the non
secured applications. when i open those applications, i see the mdw entries for the secured applications.
if i take the mdw off the non secured, get the same results.
all the literature i have checked indicate that you should be able to have mult mdw's on a server or workstation and
the respective appl will have a linkage via the properties command.

so, why don't i see the correct mdw? I want to build more mdws for other apps.

this is a small consulting firm (6 people) and i am designing a secured app for a client but i do not want our consulting group to use pwds for our apps.

thanks

To use Access command line switches your command (or shortcut) must point
to the Access executable file, not merely the MDB you want to open. The
syntax is roughly...

"Full Path to MSAccess.exe" "Full Path to MDB file" /wrkgrp "Full Path to
MDW file"
 
thanks for your help
i saw that in the literature but thought that the shortcut had compensated for the msaccess.exe path
