Split database problems

I split the program and the data in two databases as recommended. I wrote
the orginal program on my laptop and now want to transfer it to a different
laptop and copy the data and program to entirely different directories.

I copied the data and the program to new directories on my new laptop and
then went to Link Table Manager and relinked the data to the program
database. In addition, I went to Get External Date and re-linked the tables.


I thought I was all set, but when I open up my forms in the program database
it still references the old directory path.

What am I missing?

Just to clarify... you opened the front end file (program database) and used the
linked table manager with the "Prompt for new location" option to change all of
the links to the new location of the back end file. Is that correct? That
should have been enough to make the front end file work correctly.
