Macro Shortcut Won't Run Properly

[Cheryl Lamonds]

I have saved a macro as a shortcut. It runs fine as long
as the database is open. If the database is not open, it
tells me it can't find it. Is this normal? If not, what
is the purpose of having a shortcut to a macro if you
have to have the database open anyway?

Are you sure you have the shortcut correct. Her is an
example of one of my shortcuts.
The Access database is c:\mrs_Dev\AAA\test2c.mdb and the
macro MorningReport

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE"
"c:\mrs_Dev\AAA\test2c.mdb" /x "morningreport"

Watch for word wrap
