hi George,
Use the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) address
rather than the mapped or mounted drive. When
you use the Linked Table Manager (Tools->
Database Utilities), select the path to your
BackEnd via My Network Places so that you end up with an something like
\\YourServerMachineName\c-drive\MyDataFolder\MyBackEnd.mdb
That is the cross-platform method of addressing
files on a network. Once set, the back end will
be found from any machine on your network that
you place the front end. It's worth noting that
the closer your BackEnd file is to the root of
your drive, the faster the access will
be. ...\Documents and Settings\... is NOT the place for a data file
