WORKGROUP INFORMATION FILE

[sharan]

1)I have packed my database using developer edition.When I run the setup I
do not see a shortcut on the desktop neither does my database join the .mdw
file I created for it.

Is there a way that the database automatically connects to the .mdw I
created and not the default "system.mdw" when the user opens the database.

2)Is there a way to join back to the system.mdw file after having created a
..mdw file for a database.I tried ,it does not work........


Thanks.
Sharan.

Yes <pathToAccess.EXE> <pathToMDB> /wrkgrp <pathtoMDW>
I don't know whether the setup packager will create the shortcut for
you, or whether you must do it manually.

2)Is there a way to join back to the system.mdw file after having created a
.mdw file for a database.I tried ,it does not work........

Wrkgadm.exe will do that for you.

See the website in my signature for addtional information
