Security Short Cut: Start In field

[chaderickson via AccessMonster.com]

The properities of the short cut for the sercure database has a field called
START IN. What is supposed to be in there? The local folder for of MS
Access (c:\program..\Micro...\office11) or the folder on the server that
houses the database (\\server\databasefolder)?

I checked all my users and I have about a 50/50 spread of users starting on
thier local or starting on the server.

What are the pros and cons of each? Every now and then we get a disk or
netowork error. Would the start in field of the various users be a cause?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I've never really paid attention or noticed this. I just checked a bunch of mine, and they all seem to be set to the folder where the frontend is located on the local drive. However, I also notice that one shortcut has nothing in that box. If you are having issues, I'd set it to start in the user's my documents folder.
