after setting up a link to a remote database - how can I change path?

[Angus Comber]

I have setup a link to a remote database. But unfortunately the network
path has changed. How can I edit the link path?

If your link involves a named "share" (e.g., "N://"), look into using the
UNC approach.

This naming convention bypasses whatever "local" sharename was used and
points directly at the server. It looks something like:

\\servername\foldername\filename

I believe you can use the linked table wizard to help you do this by using
My Network Places and the Entire Network via Windows Explorer, rather than
creating a new map/share.

You will use the linked table manager.

I talk about using the linked table manger in the folwling article....
