Problem Closing Secured Application

[Bruce]

I am using a button on my main switchboard form to close
the database and Access. While my application always
closes, sometimes Access does not. When this happens, you
have to go to windows task manager to get Access to
close. I am using docmd.quit with the buttons on-click
event. This is a secured Access 97
application located on a shared network drive. A shortcut
is used to open the application and reference the
workgroup file
(ie "C:Office\MSAccess.exe" "G:\Databases\MyApp.mdb" /wrkgr
p "G:\Databases\MyApp.mdw"). Also, how can I open the
database exclusivly in this senario? Create a seperate
shortcut with an "open exclusive" switch?

That is one way.
