"Shortcuts"

[pledbetter]

I am not new to Access but had stepped away from it for a few years and now I'm back. One of the concepts that is new to me is that of a "Shortcut". This database I inherited has a number of table, form, macro, and query shortcuts that do not seem to make sense. What is it a shortcut to? In the Windows environment, a shortcut is just a pointer to the real application's location. In this inherited application, the "shortcut" seems to be the actual object, not simply a pointer, as I cannot find the "original" anywhere. Can anyone give me some general pointers on the concept of "shortcuts" in Access? I've tried to research it myself but all the references I've come up with talk about a shortcut to the Desktop. Thes "shortcuts" reside only within the database and nowhere elste that I can figure out.

I solved this. How does one mark a thread as solved?
