Can't open my database - linked tables

Hi.

I've been working on a database for a while now between my desktop and my
laptop. Each time I copy the files, I go into the Linked Table Manager and
update my path to my linked databases.
For some reason today, it won't open my first database at all citing that
the database path for one of the linked databases isn't valid.

What would cause this? Is there something I can check or do I need to wait
until I get back to my PC and recopy the files. I don't want to lose a day
if I don't have to.

Thanks.

Did you try repairing the backend database? Do that and then relink
manually. (Just import tables, link.)

I did repair everything. I couldn't link at all.
As it turns out, I was able to resolve this when I found an "unhide" option
under the Window menu. That made the db appear. I relinked and then my
forms showed up working and in order.
:-)
thank you.

Replication may be your answer.
