[AccessD] odd shortcut problem

[James Button]

Presuming the 'user' will have logged into the server in order to access the
database 
But - when run from a shortcut that is on a 'local' system, has the user logon
to that local system got the appropriate authority on the server at that time
And does the shortcut use the users credentials when accessing the database -
If not, then could it be that the locally initiated process does not have update
authority ?
Maybe check if the database can be manually manipulated from the 'local user'
Or is the local startup actually of a run-time facility?

Also - implied 'commit' or explicitly specified before the 'app' closes the
database.

I've seen Windows try to revert shortcuts to their former files w/o asking or
telling.

I'd try having him delete his current shortcut and recreate it.

I've run into an interesting problem (volunteer). I helped a young man
create his first database and it's working fine. They're tracking
memberships. When he opens the database from the server, everything works as
expected. When they open the database from a local shortcut, it isn't saving
changes and new records.

I asked him to first verify that the shortcuts are actually opening the
right file -- I know he had several versions as he worked. He says they are
definitely pointing to the right file.  

Any thoughts?
