Linked Table Mgr Won't Link Using UNC Path

[Guest]

Dear ALL:

I have been using a UNC path to link to my back end mdb for months.
But, when I copied my front end to a development folder on my C: drive, and
copied my back end mdb to my development folder on the server, the linked
table mgr just blinks back to the file location dialog, with a blank path and
filename.

I -selected all- tables and said "Always prompt for a new location" in the
checkbox.

Anyone know why the linked table mgr does it sometimes and most times will
not?

To pick a UNC with the linked table manager, don't navigate to the database
by choosing the mapped drive. Instead, go through the "My Network Places"
(or whatever it's called in the OS you're using)

Some of your tables appear to be linked to a different database.
Unless all of the selected tables appear to be linked to the
same database, the manager will ask for the connection location
for each one.
