Re: workgroups "Lynn Trapp" <ltrapp_NOSPAM[ at ]ltcomputerdesigns.com> 11.07.2006 11:52:48 Kevin, There are 2 ways. First, you can join each computer to your workgroup by using the workgroup administrator -- wrkgrpadmin.exe. Second, and this is the preferred method, you can create a desktop shortcut that uses the wrkgrp switch. The general syntax for that shortcut is "FullPathToMSAccess.exe" "FullPathToDatabase.mdb" /wrkgrp "FullPathToWorkgroup.mdw" -- Lynn Trapp MS Access MVP www.ltcomputerdesigns.com Access Security: www.ltcomputerdesigns.com/Security.htm Jeff Conrad's Access Junkie List: http://home.bendbroadband.com/conradsystems/accessjunkie.html "Kevin Barlow" <KevinBarlow[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:05030D7F-7B5F-4DCE-8740-717AD3E827CC[ at ]microsoft.com...
