Hi all,
There are several MDB's at work which different people have created
using their own workgroups. It is a real pain (albeit not a major issue) to
keep joining the different workgroups each time we use them. Is there a way
to get access to join the necessary workgroup when each DB is opened?
Cheers for your help,
Mark

Put a shortcut on the desktop for each, and use the /WRKGRP argument in the
command line. You can't code it in the application because the workgroup
must be accessed to open Access itself.

Hi Larry,
I appreciate your help on this but I forgot to mention I have no
experience in command lines. Could you give an example of how this should
read if the database was in C:\database and the workgroup was in
C:\database\workgroups
Thanks for your patience

Create a shortcut... right-click properties
Change the target to....
"<full path to access executable>\<full path of your database" /wrkgrp
"<full path to your workgroup file>"
In A2003 you can access the workgroup administrator from inside
Access... does this also mean you can now possibly access it via code??
:)

Actually, you must always have the path to Access itself (msaccess.exe)
first, then a space, then the full path to the database.

No, the workgroup is chosen before the database is opened.

Yup, I typed it out wrong:) In A2003 you can access the workgroup administrator from inside

Thought as much.

There is an excellent free Access db shortcut builder available from http://www.headwaysystems.com/
