How to?

[SF]

Hi,

I want to distribute my access database to each user desktop automatically.
Is there a way to copy an access file from a shared drive to user's desktop
using a command line? eg (COPY \\MYSHARE\MYACCESS.MDB C:\Documents and
Settings\USERNAME\Desktop)

Hi,

If you have admin privileges, then yes you can write to each. But, why not
just copy it to the All User's desktop?

Do you really want each user to maintain a separate and different copy
of the database? Wouldn't it make more sense to leave the database on a
network share accessible to all of the necessary users, and then
distribute a shortcut to said database? Then all of your users would
see the same data.
