/wrkgrp switch on shortcut does not work when 'run as administrato

[Andrew Bentley]

The following shortcut is to an Access 2002 database
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\MSACCESS.EXE"
"C:\StockControl\CELStockControlV4.mdb" /excl /wrkgrp U:\CEL2002.mdw
It works fine until I use the 'run as administrator' option when I then get
the error
"Microsoft Office Access couldn't find file 'U:\CEL2002.mdw'. This file is
required for Startup".
Does anybody have any idea why, and how can I get round this problem?

because your local administrator hasn't mapped the network drive.

You can use the UNC pathname rather than relying on the mapped drive (different users may have it mapped to a different letter).

\\servername\path\filename

Thanks - that's done the trick.
