I have one or two Access97 database files on my machine which is running
NT 4.0 workstation, stand-alone.  I have set up a customised Office
toolbar with shortcut buttons to the aforementioned mdb files.  This has
never before been a problem.  This morning I start up my PC and click on
the toolbar shortcut button that should open a very simple address book
database that was created by the Access DB wizard and tailored by me.
Instead of opening Access followed by the DB, I get the message "Access
to the specified device, path or file is denied".  If I try and open the
file from explorer, same message.  And yet, if I open Access first, then
do File, Open Database, and select the file in the usual way, it opens
with any trouble.

This is happening to all MDB files on my machine, and happens regardless
of whether I am logged in as Administrator or not.

Can anyone suggest why NT is suddenly deciding to be awkward, cos its a
bit of a pain in the old deriere.
