Backend Frontend Network - Microsoft Access / VBA

ordy62

I split a database to a FE and BE but the issue is the network shares.
I have several groups that need to view this database but the network
paths to database are different for example.
Network drive F:\Projects\sha red\database_be .mdb (original location)

Group 2
L:\Department Folder\Projects \shared\databas e_mdb

and the other groups the mapping is different also. They can all open
the FE switchboard but once they try to open a report or form it tells
them that F:\Projects\sha red\database_be .mdb doesn't exist. Any
suggestions?

Thanks

Either set common drive mappings to the backend or

use UNC mappings to the backend
ex. \\backendcomput ername\fullyqua lified path

Common mapping won't go MIS has it set differently for each department.
Can you explain UNC mapping for me where do i find it and set it
etc...also someone mention Link Table Manager might fix the issue from
each client with the selection of "always prompt for a new location"
selected. Thanks and Happy New Year!

When relinking the FE to the BE...

use MY network places, Entire network, Microsoft Windows network, then
select the back end server name, then navigate to the BE database.

do this before you distribute the FE database and you will be all set.

Check out this link which would allow you to convert from a mapped drive letter to its UNC
equivalent:

Slowdown when using A2000 frontend with A97 backend on network

by: Bradley | last post by:

Has anyone else noticed this problem? I converted the back-end to A2000 and the performance problem was fixed. We supply a 97 and 2000 version of our software so we kept the backend in A97 to make upgrading simple for users. We've done it like that for years but a new client has been having severe performance issues... solved by converting the backend to 2000. -- regards, Bradley
