shortcut target not valid

[Boo]

Trying to make a shortcut to join the workgroup and open a Db.

I made a shortcut for a Db, the shortcut defalt target was:
X:\RC-Office\RC_OFFIC\database\Projects.mdb

I edited the target line to:
/wrkgrp ”X:\RC-Office\RC_OFFIC\database\MS Access Workgroup.mdw” “X:\RC-Office\RC_OFFIC\database\Projects.mdb”

I get \wrkgrp not vaid target. I put the mdb file path first, I get not vaid target for the path to the Db.
I would rather not put in the whole MS Access program file. This is on a server that I don't know much about. Not sure I would get the program file right.
Help?

There's a great little program from Headway Systems for building secured database shortcuts, it's free, get it here: http://www.headwaysystems.com/ShortcutBuilder.htm

You have to include the location of the programs executable, the location of the workgroup and the location of the db in the target field. All of this goes on one line...

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "X:\RC-Office\RC_OFFIC\database\MS Access Workgroup.mdw" "X:\RC-Office\RC_OFFIC\database\Projects.mdb" /user UserName

Not sure what the difference is but I notice that your double quotes tilt is a specific direction in your first post.

OK

I took the excellent suggestion and used the shortcut builder. It works!
You people are wonderbar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, much has passed. Here is the lastest for any of you reading this and learning.
If your shortcut is on a server, the shortcut builder will not work totally. You will have to edit the shortcut to replace X: with \\serverName.
Thanks all
