| Re: Start Menu Item I need to explain. This is an Access db that I dragged and dropped a week ago from within the Data Files folder to the start menu. From within Access I've made changes to this db in Data Files but the changes were not reflected in the 'shortcut' from the start menu. This was the file I originally dropped to the start menu a week ago. Is this normal??

| Re: Start Menu Item The Start Menu is intended for shortcuts, not datafiles. The latter are normally stored somewhere like C:\Users\JamesJ\Documents\AccessDBs. Getting a good file structure needs planning, and this should be done as soon as possible, otherwise the whole system will become increasingly difficult to navigate and retrieve from as time passes. That said, with Vista's good search capabilities, putting all your documents in "Documents" and then searching for them there as needed may be a better solution than having an over-extensive tree structure of document subfolders. You could then have project folders (within Documents perhaps) containing only shortcuts, leaving the underlying datafiles always in the one folder.
