Joining a workgroup

[ndunwoodie]

I have a frontend database that I push down to users through Novell. It
seems that whan I do this the database "loses" it's membership in my
workgroup and is given back to the default workgroup. Can this be corrected?
Thanks in advance.

A database is not a 'member' nor is it necessarily associated with a
workgroup file. If it can be used with the default workgroup, then you
missed a step in securing it. If done right, they shouldn't be able to even
open the secure mdb using system.mdw.

Perhaps the Admin user still owns objects, or the Users Group still has
permission on things.

You need to start your database using a shortcut of he following form:

(all on one line)

"full path to MSACCESS.EXE"
"full path to database file"
/wrkgrp "full path to workgroup file"

Sorry, but I'm not clear at all as to what this means. Is this the target
stmt. for a shortcut?

Yes it is.
