Hi All,

I have a database which contains linked tables to a database which, for
me, is held on the L:\ drive I have mapped.

It appears that not all users have this drive mapped so there having
difficulty running the queries.

How can I link these tables to a server address rather than a mapped
location?
The links are too another Access database.

ps I'm using Access 97.

Kind Regards

Adam

Click to expand...

Relink the tables but navigate through "Entire Network" when doing so. This
will produce a path of...

\\ServerName\ShareName

....which should work for all users on your LAN.
