    Dear @Richard Noyes,

    I understand that your Microsoft Access database file shortcuts are not working, and I want to help you get this resolved as quickly as possible.

    To help me rule out potential environment or account-level causes, could you also clarify a few more points for me?

    1. Are you using a Personal account or a Business/Work account? 
    2. Additionally, are you logged into Windows/Office as a standard user or as an administrator?
    3. Are other users affected? If this file or shortcut is shared with colleagues, are they experiencing the same behavior, or is this only happening on your computer?
    4. Has anything changed recently? 
    5. Did this start happen after a recent Windows/Office update, a file path change, or a migration to a new computer or cloud folder?

    As soon as you share these details, I will immediately provide the exact steps to fix the issue.
