    Moving the Back End of a split Access DB.

    Hi,
    While I was still testing a real simple Access DB that I have, I split it and have the Front End and the Back End in two different folders on my local machine.


    Now I want the back end on a Network drive before I start distributing the Front End.
    What do I need to do to make sure the Front End knows where to 'find' the data once I've moved the back end?
    I thought I saw a Thread on this here a couple of months ago - but I can't find it now.
    Thanks!

    Move the back end, then in the front end right click in the tables area of the Nav Pane and select Linked Table Manager. Select your tables and "Always prompt for new location".
