Hi,

I've split my 2K database and I'm now having a bit of difficulty linking the tables. This is because on my computer the drive location is specified by a letter, which is different on other peoples computers. Is there a way to specify the full path in the linked refernce instead of just the letter.
Any help would be great

Hello again,

I managed to find this out myself, jsut pasted the full address in the Filename box and it worked.

Thanks anyway

Instead of using driver letter references...you can use UNC path names.....this will alleviate the problem of the drive letter conflict.
