I have a dilema that I was hoping you guys could help with.

I have a database that I will be distributing to multiple users that are
located on all kinds of different networks. Some of them will have access
2000 and some will have XP.

I need to find a way to distribute this database file and still maintain a
workgroup file for the database. I was thinking that if I allow the users to
download a zip file that would include the latest MDB file as well as an MDW
file they could extract both files to there selected server.

The only problem that I am facing is that I do not know how to create a
shortcut that will encompass there version of Access, as well as the location
of the MDB and MDW file.

Is there any way that when opening the database I could create a shortcut
automatically ? Or even run a batch file that would create a shortcut file
for them to log into the database as well as the mdw.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
