Using a desktop shortcut to various destinations

D

Doug Sanders

I'm developing an Access '97 app on my own server to be deployed on entirely
different domains.

I have a shortcut on the desktop called 'Data'. It points to a data
location on my server.

On the each client's desktop there will also be a shortcut called 'Data'
that points to where ever they want to put their 'Data'.

I want to use the shortcut's path in my app to connect to the actual 'Data'
location where ever it is.

I guess i need to know how to read the shortcuts properties to get the
absolute location of 'Data'.

If this has been dealt with before, I couldn't find it.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
