If you're going to use the Linked Table Manager to change
the paths to something that everyone can see, regardless
of drive letter mapping, try this:
- Run the Linked Table Manager
- Check the tables to be relinked (or Select All)
- Check the box that says "Always prompt for new location"
- Click OK
Now here's the key point:
- When you browse to the new location, go through "My
Network Places" or "Network Neighborhood" (depending on
your version of Windows)
- Locate the server, then directory, the find your backend
file
- You'll end up with your tables linked via UNC pathing,
and as long as your users have access to that
server/directory, they'll be able to connect to the back
no matter how their drive letters are mapped.
Hope that helps!
