You're actually creating a shortcut to Access. &nbsp;Your shortcut opens Access, then Access sees that you want to open a specific DB file, and also use a specific workgroup file.

This is a follow up question to whether or not placing a secured database on a network would interfere. &nbsp;dds110 (thank you) suggested placing a shortcut with specific targets. &nbsp;So do I place a short cut to the secured database (making sure the workgroup file is in the same directory) and the workgroup? &nbsp;Or just the secured database. &nbsp;Please explain a little more. &nbsp;I understand how to do shortcuts on desktops, but I'm a little confused on what needs shortcuts (database and/or workgroup). &nbsp;Thanks again.

Workgroup shortcuts

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.
