hi everyone,

I'm not sure whether this is the right forum for my question.
If not please, let me know and I will post my question there.

Here is my question:
I have a main database (tables and some forms) and a linked database with
several reports accessing the 'main' database.
It seems to me that path to the original location of the main database is
burned in in the linked database.
How can I change this linked location (path) so that I can test some
development on a copy of the main db?

I tried to find this informationj under the properties, but I can't find
any entry for the location..

How can I solve this problem?

Any help much appreciated.
TIA

BTW. I'm running MS Access 2000

When using the Linked Table Manager Look out for any messages reporting that
you don't have access to an Access related folder on your PC! If you find a
solution and get the LTM working smoothly again - please let me know.

See the post several below your original in the forum.
