Re: Loading access using a generic acct

Yes, you can create a shortcut to msaccess.exe with /wrkgrp and
/user and /pwd command line options after msaccess.exe.

But a better way is to create a new 'design' user and workgroup,
and use that user to create a new copy of the database in which
the default ('admin') user does not have design permission on
any of the tables or queries.

Then just let all the other users use the default ('admin') user.
No need to use a different generic name at all.
