Probably after applying XP SP2 opening databases througt existing shortcuts
won't work, also when doubleclicking in windows explorer won't work. I have
to start Access and then browse to the database and open it. When I make a
copy of a database, for example copy 'db1' to 'copy of db1', I am able to
open the copy, but not the original. After deleting the original and renaming
the copy back to the original name it works ?? Strange, security is OK, only
thing that changed is XP SP2 !!

Do a right click on a file. Choose Properties, then "Open this file
with...) Choose the Access program.
