Shortcut changes filename
Windows 7 Enterprise, SP1
Created a shortcut to open MS Access 2003 that worked. Now that I have been upgraded to Windows 7 and Access 2010, I updated my shortcut. It's a long shortcut and I have shortened it below.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\database.mdb" /WRKGRP "\\serverpath\filename.mdw"
The shortcut opens Access and I get the error message that Access could not find
"\\serverpath\filename.mdw1".
Somewhere somehow the file extension in the command has been changed from .mdw to .mdw1.
I tried creating a copy of my file as .mdw1. Access cannot find it though.
I have searched Access forums and have posted in one Access forum but have gotten no response. So I am wondering: Is it an Access problem or a Windows problem?
