Error 3044

[Amour]

Hi please help I am new to ACCESS

What does this mean? why am I getting this msg? and how can i change this
path?
It tells me what the path is but not how to change the path so that I may
work locally.

<Path> is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled
correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
(Error 3044)
Possible causes:

You entered an invalid file specification that contains an invalid path. For
example, you might have entered a path that does not exist or misspelled an
element in the path specification.
The specified file is on a network drive and you are not connected to that
drive. Make sure the network is available, and then try the operation again.


Thank You For Any Help!

You need to post the code that's causing the problem if you want anyone to
help you!

Thank you for your help.

This happens on any form that I try to open that is on my C drive when I
have a external drive that I disconnect. When I disconnect the external
drive I get the message everytime I try to open a form. And I was wondering
how I could change this link to a external drive so I could work on the
project locally. I even noticed that I have created new forms that are on
the C drive but not on the external drive yet when I try to open one of the
forms (I created) it still has the same error 3044. So I am thinking that
there must be some way of linking (not just tables) a whole database to
another and that (I guess) is what I am trying to change. So there is no
code (I think) behind this. I found something about a frmdatalocation and I
looked into it. I changed that location to my C drive yet I got the same
error so I don't think that is the correct path that access is looking for.

Thank You For Any Help!

You have linked tables that are disconnected when you remove your external
drive.
Use the Linked Table Manager in Tools/Database Utilities to relink the
tables from a different source.

When you re-connect your external drive, you will need to re-link the tables
again if you want to work on the data stored there.

Thank you for responding.

I don't mean to seem totally basic, but I went into Linked Table Manager but
the only options that I saw was a select all and ok. I did not see where you
can change the links.

Thank You for any help!

Is there no "Always prompt for new location" checkbox?
