Hi,
I am workin on a university's server and on Access 2002.
How do I do a link with a relativ path name ? If I do a link with an image
for example and that I want to open it under another computer (with another
name), I can't.
 
You can't link using relative paths: Access only works with absolute paths.

If the files to which you want to link are all on the server, you can use
UNCs for the mapping (\\server\share\folder\file.ext) rather than using a
mapped drive. Otherwise, perhaps you can give an example of what the problem
is.
