I have a runtime application that installs 2 programs and creates shortcuts on the desktop to open them. The programs are ADE's which connect to 2 separate SQL2000 data bases. The programs are run through terminal server. When I click on the shortcuts with full administer rights each shortcut works fine and opens the correct program. If a user tries who doesn't have write/modify rights to the folder where the access runtime files are stored (eg C:\Program Files\Microsoft Access Runtime\Office10) then the first shortcut works ok, but if they then click on the second shortcut the same program opens as for the first one they clicked. It doesn't matter which shortcut they click on first when they log on, the other shortcut opens the same program as the first shortcut clicked. The same program then opens no matter which shortcut they use until they log off. Then when they log on again the first shortcut clicked determines which program will be opened by both shortcuts. If the users are given rights to modify / write to the Microsoft Access Runtime folder, then the shortcuts access the correct programs. We would prefer not to have to give users full access to the runtime folders. Has anyone heard of this before? Does anyone know which specific file/s need to have modify/write permissions so we can only provide the rights for those files? Regards David Emerson Dalyn Software Ltd Wellington, New Zealand
