The title of the shortcut with .lnk appended.  So "Shortcut to db1.mdb"
gives "Shortcut to db1.mdb.lnk"

Subject: [AccessD] Capturing shortcut clicked

Does anyone know how to capture the name of the shortcut clicked to
access 
the .mdb? I am writing a version control process for two systems and I
want to 
be able to share the code between the two systems without having to make
the 
user tell me which system they are accessing. I won't be able to go by
the name 
of the current mdb because that mdb will be a shell version checker. So,
the 
only way I can think of to tell which app I should be directing them to
is to 
capture the name of the shortcut (which is programatically set - so I
don't 
have the danger of misspellings, etc.)

Thanks!
Jeanine
