system.mdw not found

[Susan G]

I have a user that is getting an error that her
system.mdw file cannot be found. This does not happen all
of the time. It seems to be conflicting with another
program that she had installed recently which must be
pointing to look for the system.mdw in a different
location. Can anyone tell me how I can make my database
point to the system.mdw that I want it to look at?
Please help!
Susan

You can force Access to open with a specific .mdw file by opening that
database through a shortcut (desktop, start menu, etc) with your Target
formatted this way:

"Path to MSAccess.exe" "Path To Your DB" /wrkgrp "Path to the .mdw file"

What other program was installed?

 

[Susan G]

I put in the following and it says that it is invalid -
what am I doing wrong?

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11
\MSACCESS.EXE /wrkgrp C:\XXX\xxx.mdb
L:\aiapps\XXX\EXEC\system.mdw"

It is having problems with Sierra Gold.
Please help!
thanks Susan

The path needs some more double quotes and a re-order...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\XXX\xxx.mdb"
/wrkgrp "L:\aiapps\XXX\EXEC\system.mdw"

Double quotes around each path and /wrkgrp just before the path to the
workgroup

THANKS!! I don't see my post updated yet, but I just
reviewed your suggestion here and found where my error
was! THANKS again! Just a simple mistype, of course!
