cannot open .mdb on network

[Tim]

Just moved computers to the domain. There is a Access
database on the server. 2 users can open the file. The
other user clicks on the file, Access will open but the
database will not open to the menu. So far just this 1
client. I did an Office repair but did not work. Users
have full permissions to database.

TIA

It's impossible to say for sure, you don't say what the
specific error that your users are getting. But figuring
that your database is split between frontend and backends,
my guess would be that some of your users have their
network drives mapped differently.

If you do have linked tables, and your users may have
their drive letters mapped differently, you might try
using UNC drive mapping for linking your tables, such as
\\Computer1\Files\database.mdb. If you browse via Network
Neighborhood, or Network Places, you'll wind up with this
kind of path, and any users with the appropriate rights to
that directory will be able to access it, regardless of
how their drives are mapped.

There is no error message, when the data base is opened it
does not show up, just a blank page in Access. All 6
clients have a mapped drive to the server which are using
the same drive letter. All clients are W2k Pro. Just the
one computer will not open the database. Could it be a
registery setting?
