I have an existing database that I don't have access to change

[Guest]

I recently took over a database at work. Once in the database it has a path
that is used such as C:\ and it can also be changed to network drive. The
problem is that I don't have access to change the database to delete the
table for the path so I can make the database accessible through a network
intranet and not a certaindrive.

You don't give us quiet enough to be sure what is happening. It sounds
like you have a split database. You are working with the front end that is
usually on the user's machine and contains all the reports, queries and
forms as well as static tables. The back end is on the server and the front
end "links" to table(s) in the database.

You need read, write, create and delete rights to the directory where
the back end is located.

There may also be Access user level or general security issues as well.

I hope that helps.
