MBE Create/Move Problem

[W_Grace]

I still have not had an answer to this, anyone with any ideas?

I create an MBE in Folder A, it works in folder A, it works when I
double click on it. if I move it to Folder B, it will not launch when
double clicked on, it will only run when I use Access to open it as a
file.

If I create the file in Folder B, it works, I can double click on it
I can do what I like, I move it to Folder A, and it will not run
unless selected open file from within access, no double click or
anything.

Any MBE I create will only work from within the Folder that I create
it, it will not allow me to Move/Copy it to another location.

All this done as Admin, all permissions for the file will allow me to
run it, but when I move the file it will not run any more unless
selected through access.

Is there any option that I might have missed when creating the MBE
that makes it include a Path or something so when I try and run it
from another location it will not work?

I don't think anyone else has ever encountered the problem you're
describing, which would explain why no one can suggest any workarounds.

I'm presuming that you mean a MDE...

I suspect the problem resides, not in the database, but in the
Shortcut. Are you clicking directly on the icon for the database file,
or a shortcut to it? If it's a shortcut, what are the relevant
properties of the shortcut?

Directly on the Moved MDE File.

Create the MDE in location one, Click directly on the MDE and it runs.

Move/Copy the MDE to location two, Click directly on the MDE, and it does
not run.

Use Access to open/run the MDE from location two, and it works.
