Batch file to open secure file /wrkgrp switch won't work

[Guest]

Hi, I need a batch file to open the following, but mine isn't working:

start "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE"
"c:\mydatabase.mdb" /WRKGRP "c:\secured.mdw"

The switch isn't being recognized. What am I missing? Thanks.

How do you know? Are you getting an error? The syntax of the command looks
okay to me.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I am getting the typical error you get when you try to open a secured
database directly. The batch command is bypassing the switch. Syntax looked
good to me too. I did a lot of shifting things around before I finally
posted. So, it's not the end of the world, a shortcut will work. But the
batch file is cleaner because we can run it in our startup script.

If you have any other ideas, let me know. Many thanks again.
