Access Desktop shortcuts don't work

[Jeff]

I need help in figuring out why a shortcut on a desktop to an access
database times out and never opens. This occurs on one computer and
not the rest..

I am able to open MSaccess and then the database from a peer to peer
network share on the same computer.

Using a shortcut doesn't work. In the properties of the shortcut on
the desktop I can test to see if it finds the correct network share
and file, which it does. In the Event viewer I see no logs files
under application, security, system, etc.. that points to a problem.
I have never played with OBDC or .net framework so I have no idea how
much those items affect access. I just know I never had to play with
them before.

How do you find out where the problem lies..

Jeff,

Does the user that is having difficulty have full read and write permissions
on the folder where the Access database is located?
