> At an existing customer, I am trying to move my system to a virtual server
> (VMWare) they have created for this application.  I use a shortcut to open

> path to the workgroup .mdw file.  However, the shortcut doesn't 'see' the
> MSAccess.exe file - probably for the same reason that I can't see the
> Microsoft Office folder under the Program Files folder (even though hidden
> folders is on).

> Can something be changed so that the shortcut can see the full path to
