Thanks for the replay. Yes I have run the workgroup administrator and
pointed it to a generic .mdw. We have many Access db's and most of
them do not use security. That's why I specify the .mdw in the target
line of the desktop icon for the few that have security.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE"
I:\AccessWG\DPPROJ2K.mdb /wrkgrp I:\ACCESSWG\SYSTEM.MDW
The really wierd part is that once you open Access on its own then the
icons work.
