problems after splitting a database

[Guest]

I put the BE on the network and FE on my and other PCs. Table propery of
description shows the correct link yet when I try to input data in FE will
not update tables and get run time error 2105 on this line of code:
Now DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
What has gone wrong?

Are you sure you have full privilege (read, write, create and delete) to
the directory where the BE resides.

I thought I did but apparently I need to ask the helpdesk support people to
find out for certain. (I thought right clicking on the Drive in question
would tell me my privileges, but it didn't really tell me.) Everything here
at my company is very oriented towards no access unless you must have it.

Hi Laura,

You can test this out for yourself very easily. Just start up any
application, such as Word, Excel, NotePad, etc. Try to save a data file to
the shared folder. Are you able to do so successfully? When you close &
re-open your new data file, can you make some edit? Finally, can you delete
this new data file using Windows Explorer? These tests will confirm RWCD
privileges.

Hi Tom!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I did what you suggested and as I
thought, I do have RWCD privileges to the drive in question. Do you happen
to know anything about my initial question, which is after I split my
database and put the Back end on a shared network server and the Front end on
my personal folder of a network server, I can no longer get the Front end to
update tables (in the Back end) through the use of forms. I get that run
time error when I try to send the program to a new record. However, I can
manually go into the linked table in the Front end and update the linked
tables here and that updates tables in the Back end. Any suggestions?
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Laura,

"...and the Front end on my personal folder of a network server,
I can no longer get..."

Generally, we want to put the front-end (FE) database on the local hard
drive, not on a networked drive. Does the situation improve if you copy the
FE to your local hard drive?

Are your forms based on the linked tables directly, or on queries? If based
on a queries, do the queries result in an editable recordset? I don't know if
this will help, but I would try deleting all table links, then do a compact
and repair of the database (hold down the shift key to prevent any startup
forms from opening), and then use File > Get External Data > Linked tables to
re-establish the table links. Does this help the situation?
