What are the procedures to split the database into FE/BE that the link to the tables references the network path rather then the drive letter:

Link currently has ~ Z:\hereitis_be.mdb

want to have ~ either DBHere$\hereitis_be.mdb or \\SeverName\DBHere$\hereitis_be.mdb

different User may not have the same drive letter mappings depending on role that they log on to the system as.

thanks in advance
 
Just open Linked Table Manager and re-link the tables specifying the full UNC path to the backend.

Thanks, worked like a charm.

Don't know why this doesn't do this when spliting. I specified the UNC Path at that time but but the drive letter in there.
