the ole switcheroo - splitting a db

[Robert Blackwell]

I need to split my db and its a little intimidating. I've created my backup
so I'm safe and good to go.
The db is hosted on another computer currently we've just been accessing it
through a folder share and by double clicking the file.

The split has been completed successfully but I just have a few questions.
It looks like the front end has replaced the original file.mdb that I
started with. My question is if I copy that file.mdb to other computers will
I have to tell it the source comptuers IP or shared folder address? I dont
want to mess anything up so I haven't used the db yet since the split.

Additionally, it appears that I created the backend file one folder below
the front end by mistake. If I move the backend file up a folder or anywhere
else for that matter, how will that affect the front end file? Will it break
the links? If so, how do you relink?

Thanks.
