Using Access security with Windows 2000 security

I have several laptop users who travel from branch to
branch. The access workgroup has the same name at each
location but drive mappings are different. How can I use
Windows login, so that each time a user logs in at a
different branch he/she is automatically joined to the
access workgroup?
 
The best way to join an MDW is temporarily per session, using the
correct syntax in the shortcut:
<path to Access executable> <path to MDB> <path to MDW>

You could have a series of shortcuts (either on the laptop or on the
LAN), and require the user to open the correct shortcut depending on
the current location.
