Opening database with shortcut

[Chris]

I have an Access 2000 database on a network share. One
of my users cannot open the database with a shortcut. If
she opens Access and then opens the database that way, it
works fine. I had her create a fresh shortcut by using
send to desktop from the right-click menu when she had
the share open in Windows Explorer.

Any suggestions

Have you tried creating a shortcut from scratch by right-
clicking on the desktop and entering the path to the
share? If you do this, you'll have to specify the path to
the MS Access executable first. The following is an example

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\MSAccess.exe" "J:\your path\your mdb file"

The quotes are only required if there are spaces any where
within the path.
