Workgroup File Panel

In this step, you can select a custom workgroup information (.mdw) file and configure how it is installed. If you are not using a custom workgroup with your Access database, you can skip this step.

Workgroup File Panel Settings

Setting

Description

Workgroup file

Enter the path and name of the workgroup file as it can be found on the target system. Once you enter a value into this field, the check boxes become enabled.

If you are installing this icon as one of your feature's files, use the same path as the file's destination.

Register as the system/default workgroup file

Make your workgroup the default workgroup on your user's system. Any existing system workgroup information file will no longer be the default.

Use the /wrkgrp command-line argument

The argument /wrkgrp <file name> tells Access to use the specified workgroup information file with your database regardless of the registered system workgroup file. When you select this option, the command-line argument /wrkgrp <file name>, where <file name> stands for the path to the workgroup file (above), is added to the Access application's shortcut.

Tip: If you choose to include a custom workgroup, you can select either, both, or neither of the Register as the system/default workgroup file and Use the /wrkgrp command-line argument settings for your workgroup. Selecting both of these causes your workgroup to be used for all Access databases. If the user decides to set a different default workgroup, your workgroup is then used only with your database.
