Does Access actually open, and then they get this prompt, or is it before
Access opens?

I'm thinking that there is a table link that's to your PC, or there is a
link in the mdb to a file on your PC (an image or something?).

I don't think the shortcut is causing this.

When you open access (no shortcut), you say it is now using the system.mdw
on the network - how do you know this?

Not related, but I would have chosen a name other than system.mdw for the
secure workgroup file, as it is confusing.
