Details about application:
Split front-end/back-end
both FE and BE reside on a NAS (network drive)
Single FE file that all users access (I know this is a bad idea but no
choice for the environment)
This is only happening with a single computer for this particular
front-end.
If the user double-clicks a shortcut I created on their desktop, which
is the same shortcut emailed to all the other users, they receive an
error about not having exclusive access.... etc.. Of course this is
while someone else has the front-end open, if no one has it open, it
opens fine just as exclusive.
If the user opens Access, then goes to File/Open and navigates to the
front-end and chooses the normal open open, not open read-only nor
either exclusive open, it works fine while others have the same front-
end open.
The users options are set to default open mode of shared.
Any idea why it is still trying to open as exclusive when using the
desktop shortcut?
