Copy database

[Guest]

I have created a database on my local laptop's C drive and applied security
to it. I now want to copy it to a network drive so that i can access it when
dialled in using Citrix on terminal server. I have tried various methods but
all fail.

Can anybody tell me the best way to achieve this?

When you secured it, you created a workgroup file (mdw). You need to make
that file available on the terminal server as well.

In addition you'll want to create a shortcut on TS to start Access and use
that workgroup file.

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