shortcuts

[Mike]

Can someone help? I have a password protected database
that I want to create a shortcut for. When I put it on my
desktop, I open it and it tells me that it is password
protected and will not allow me to open it from my
desktop. Anyone have any ideas?

It appears that you have protected the entire MDB. Maybe what you want is
for the DB to open to a screen where the user enters UserID & PW for further
access to the remaining forms and reports in the DB. It's possibly to
implement this type of access in your DB design. It can be specific to
UserID + Object, or general to user class or object group. You'll have to
set up tables with the valid access combinations and procedures to maintain
them. For instance, if Bob from Accountemps replaces Joe while he's on
vacation you would want to be able to do a blovk copy/add.
