hi,
I put my front end and back end database on the same directory on the
server. I tried to get into the database via the front end and it tells me
that it can't find database exisitng on the desk top. What do I do now? I
dont know how to fix this.
thanks
 
Use Tools>Utilitites>LinkedTableManager and relink the FE to the BE's new
location.

HTH,
 
Have you tried Relinking your table to the new location of the backend?

Tools-Database utilities-Linked Table Manager

Normally one would NOT put the frontend on the server at all. It
should be on your desktop.

You can open the frontend, holding down the Shift key if necessary to
bypass startup code; and use Tools... Database Utilities... Linked
Table Manager to find the (perhaps changed) location of the backend.
