I'm trying to help a friend out by looking at his Access 2003 prog. He's sent me the front end and the back end .mdb files. Minus all data I think.
I've opened both files and opened the front end while holding the shift key so's I can get design view.
So far so good.
But when I try to open things to have a look at them I get a message 'Your Network Access Was Interrupted - close the database and open it again' something like that, and it doesn't work.
I suspect perhaps the fact that his prog sat on a network with a network server holding the back end and the front ends on network machines. I have both on my own and don't have a network server on my home LAN here.
How do I fix this so's I can run his prog here or at the very least scrutinise his forms and such?
p.s. and, yes, it is my Access 2007 that is opening his files, of course, if that makes any difference.
