Shortcut that opens Workgroup

[Sandy]

Is there a way to create a command line in a shortcut that
will automatically join to a workgroup? When I fill out
the target line in properties that points to the database
and then add /wrkgrp (and then the file name on the
server) I can only open the database if I have joined to
the workgroup. I have a large distribution for my
database and do not want each individual to have to join
to the workgroup. I would like them to just double click
on the shortcut and then have the workgroup automatically
come up, but when I join back into the system.mdw I get an
error message when I try to test the shortcut that
says "you do not have permission to access the database,
ask your system administrator to establish the appropriate
permissions for you". Is it possible to have the shortcut
specify that my wrkgrp be used and each user not go
through the extra step of joining to the workgroup?

You need to include the full path to msaccess.exe at the beginning of the
target line.
"path to msaccess.exe" "path to mdb" /wrkgrp "path to mdw"

When I include the "path to msaccess.exe" I get an error
message that says "The command line that you used to start
Microsoft Access contains an option that Microsoft Access
doesn't recognize. Exit and restart using valid command
line options."

Post what you have in the target.
