How to change fixed path?

[denis_bernicky]

I have been given a database on a CD to do some work on. The only
problem is that when I open a form it tells me that the file path
//server/database/mydb.mdb is not valid. Of course it isn't valid the
whole thing is on my comp at the moment and not even on a network.

How can I change this path so that I can work on the database locally
and change it back when I put the changes back?

Thank you for any help.

Denis.

Denis,

Open the frontend to the database window and go to Tables. Go to Tools -
Add-Ins(Access97 and 2000) or Tools - Database Utilities(AccessXP) and find the
Linked Table Manager. Select all the tables and check "Always Prompt For New
Location". The wizard will hen allow you to pick the location of the backend
which contais the tables.
