What's so special about the shortcut??

[Pip''n]

I've recently implemented User-Level Security in my database.. the shortcut
was placed on my desktop as it is supposed to. I have since moved the
shortcut to the My Documents folder (the folder is syncronized with the
server) so that I may open the database on a different computer on the same
network. When i try this the shortcut image is a graphic displaying that the
file type is unrecognized.. when i click the link it asks for me to put a
disk in my D drive.??!!! I dont understand this at all.. How do I recreate
the shortcut so it will work properly. I still have to upload the files to a
network resource folder so that it may be used by my peers.

Here I go replying to my own Questions again...

I figured out the D Drive issue.. the computer i created the file on has
Microsoft Access on a 2nd drive (D: Drive) where the other computer has it
on the C Drive.

If the shortcuts are built with a fixed target. How will i need to modify my
shortcut when i move it on to the server at Q:\\payroll\ ?

Thanks in advance

Wherever you put it, the shortcut should be:

(all on one line)

"full path to msaccess.exe"
"full path to secured database file"
/wrkgrp "full path to securing workgroup file"

HTH,

ULS? No no no, that's a "pear".

A "pear" of pants? AHH HA HA HA! Stop rolling your eyes! I love corny jokes.
The lamer the better. It's especially funny when the joke teller acts like it
is the funniest thing they ever heard. I just flew in from Cleveland and boy
are my arms tired.

If you peer at a peer's pair of pears...oh forget it I'm digging a hole.

....nose might need repair it appears...

 

[Paul (ESI)]

He he he! That's great. You lost me with the nose thing, though. What is that
supposed to mean? Is it just supposed to sound funny? Either way, I like it!
