dblogon.bat

I just recently migrated to a new server. My company's database was on the old server. I've coppied the database, however when my staff clicks on the icon that resides on their desktops it no longer takes them to the shared company database. I've been told that the logon script must be changed on the new server to direct all icons on desktops to point to the same database. I was also told that I must make changes within the dblogon.bat script, and that references in dbcheck.vbs must also be changed

Does anyone have a clue of what I'm speaking of? Is their something I can reference that would help me make these changes? Can anyone provide some help

Thanks

do a search for these files *dblogon.bat* and *dbcheck.vbs* the
right-click on them with shift held down, and select open with yo
should get a dialogue box up that asks which program you want to ope
these files with. select notepad (or some other text editor wordpad
etc) if none of these are shown then try browse and type c:\windows o
c:\ Program Files you will then be able to see these scripts don'
worry if there is a lot in there that doesn't make sense just find th
bit that has the name of your database in it will probably look lik
\old_server_name\Database name or \old_server_name\old_database_nam
change these to the new values and Voila.
