Hi
I'm trying to write a small project, few forms connected to a
database (Access) I wrote the code and everything is working fine but
when I try to install the program and database on different computer I
get error message. The problem is that the program is looking for a
database in specified path which is different on different computers.
Could someone give me a hint how to prevent such error and I would
really appreciate some code to fix the problem.

Thanks
Kris
 
Kris,

Use UNC addressing, instead of drive mapping. That is, use the server
name and path to folder to reference the back end file, like:

\\ServerName\Folder\SubFolder\...\FileName.mdb

which is independent of drive mappings.

HTH,
Nikos
