I'm having trouble getting the /wrkgrp switch in my shortcup to work. I've
read numerous threads on this site and think I have a pretty good
understanding of how the syntax in the shortcut is supposed to read. Here is
what mine looks like:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp
"G:\SHARED\Value\Database\DatabaseFiles\workgroup\valdb.mdw"
"G:\SHARED\Value\Database\valuations.mdb"
When I click on the shortcut, the database opens fine but the workgroup is
still system.mdw (according to the Workgroup Administrator). My database and
..mdw file are both residing on a shared network. I tried moving them both to
my local hard drive and it still won't work. I have also tried rearranging
the syntax order in the shortcut. My question is this:
- Could there be a network setting/permission that would prevent me from
doing a /wrkgrp switch from a shortcut? I can do a manual switch inside
Access just fine.
- Is there anything that has to be configured in Access to accept a shortcut
command like /wrkgrp?
Any thoughts or insite into this would be GREATLY appreciated. This is
turning into a frusterating matter because my database is complete and the
only thing that is left is securing it properly. Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,
Jed
