Hello friends,
How to do hide for shortcut target information on desktop Access database shortcut files? as per screenshot.
Thanks,

You can't hide that information.
Hmmm so is there any other option for hide that information?? Because users will find original file location for changes or something :(
No matter how you slice it, there will always be information in the short cut that will ultimately point users to your data. You could possibly try to make the files or folders hidden, but there can be some short falls with that. Also, all users have to do is turn on their ability to see hidden files and you are back to square one......
You said you want to hide the path to prevent the users from making changes. But that makes no sense. The shortcut opens the file anyways, they can make whatever changes they want even if you were somehow able to completely hide the path information (which you can't).
If you have a front-end/back-end, you can set the front-end's file security setting to not allow edits. This works because the data changes are being made to the backend file. The backend file can then be hidden. True, the users could still find the linked table location, but you can do things that would make it so that they would have to be an advanced user to be able to find the information.
ok got it and thanks for suggestion
You should be aware though that if you split the file, even if you set the front end to read only, that's easy enough to get around. For it to be more secure, you would need to create a compiled version of the front end and keep an uncompile version somewhere else that you can edit.
I was thinking Windows file permissions, which isn't easy to get around, but a compiled version would still be a good idea.
Temporarily am using folder hidden process... so i will try to front-end/back-end process... anyway thanks to everyone for your best suggestions.
