Default Joining MS Access MDW


I have a database the has been split with the security,
i.e front and backend, with userlevel security. The mdw
is located on the same network resource. Security is
working correctly. However, I have two users that report
after restarting the computer, they must join the mdw
again.

I completed a test on three other computers but found no
instance of this problem as reported by the user.

Any ideas and assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Default Re: Joining MS Access MDW

Instead of having them join at all, give them a desktop shortcut to start
the secure database, and leave them joined by default to their system.mdw.
This allows them to open/use unsecured databases without using the workgroup
administrator to change workgroups. The shortcut target would look like

"path to msaccess.exe" "path to mdb" /wrkgrp "path to mdw"
