How do I join a work group through a shortcut. I did it once but can't remember how to do it.
Thanks

Make your shortcut to the access executable (not just the .mdb) and use the
/WrkGrp switch to specify the name of the workgroup information file (the
.mdw).

Do a search for this file... wrkgadm.exe That's the work group admin
file, which allows you to change what work group/.mdw file you want. Then
you can create a shortcut to it from your desktop, or wherever you'd like to
put it :)
Access automatically creates a shortcut for you in this folder.. \program
files\microsoft office\office

To specify a workgroup file in the startup line of a shortcut enter the
following for the Target on the shortcut properties sheet:
1. the full path for the Access .exe
2. the full path for the database .mdb file
3. ?/wrkgrp? and the full path for the workgroup .mdw file
eg. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\Directory\Sub-
Directory\etcIfExists\DBfile_name.mdb" /wrkgrp F:\Your_mdwFile.MDW
Quotes and the spaces between the Access .exe path and the .mdb file path,
between the .mdb file path and ?/wrkgrp? and between ?/wrkgrp? and
the .mdw file path are important.
With this setup the specified workgroup file is only used when this
shortcut is used to open the database, otherwise the default workgroup
file is used.
HTH,
Eric
