[AccessD] Command Line WRKGRP switch

Mark,

The following method always works for me: "UNC path to correct version
of MSAccess.exe" /Wrkgp "UNC path to proper .mdw" "UNC path to your
Access app".  Notice that this includes three quoted strings, not one or
two.  The quotes are required only for those paths that include spaces
and other characters that disrupt the command parser.  Of course, M$
puts spaces in all of its file directory names!

Subject: [AccessD] Command Line WRKGRP switch

I have a secured Access 2000 file format database and want to use the
/wrkgrp command line switch in a shortcut to associate with the
workgroup on startup.  This command switch is not working 
( F:\sis\CCA_App.mdb /WRKGRP "F:\sis\CCA_Workgroup.mdw" )

the user accesses the correct file but under the system.mdw workgroup.  

I've verified that the file locations and the spelling are all correct.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark
