Trouble opening access db with shortcuts

[babin_22]

Ok this is a weird issue that has been troubling me, On some computers that I have, Access refuses to open databases through a shortcut. The only way to open any databases is to first open access the go to file open.

I've tried creating new shortcuts, as well as mapping a drive and making a shortcut from there...but nothing is working. Is there a setting that access has to preven this? The same database can be opened on different computer without a hitch....

You wouldn't be running this on a Novell Server with SP3 by any chance as we've had so many problems with sp3 that it has been uninstalled.

I've also had a similar but opposit problem to you where I cannot open a db by double clicking only by a shortcut. The ICT dept. never got to the bottom of that problem either.
