I believe I'm not with with you.... First, to set thing strait. It's only in our office for develepmont I'm speaking. Second. You mean you have a shorcut that starts msaccess.exe with /workgroup xxx? Problem with that is that you need a hard path to msaccess.exe and hard paths is something I try to avoid. I always use roaming profiles and hard paths can problematic. I supose solutions are out there, but I already played alot with them and they are often OS dependent. You know, Gustav, It's not that a big deal... It's rarely I do a repair... And I don't use workgroups anymore at customer sites. I use the network user name and match them with the users in the database (user management based on tables/forms). If a network user is unkown in the database it exits instantly (after a msgbox).
