[AccessD] odd shortcut problem

[Susan Harkins]

I wish I'd thought of it -- duh. That's where we'll start.

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.

Subject: [AccessD] odd shortcut problem

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?
