Problems transferring my database

D

Dave_Botterill

Please could you help?

I have inherited a '97 .mdb, already split into front end, back end. I
successfully converted it to 2003 and it runs very well on my laptop.

However, I cannot transfer it to my colleagues laptop as all the data fails
to disply on the font end. I have copied and pasted the sys and data .mdb's
but they will not display properly on certain (the main) forms. Whatever I
try to do I cannot get it to work. Please could you give me some idea's?

I have loaded a copy onto a usb key and I can run it from my laptop perfectly
well. However, when I plug it in to my colleague's machine, it is all 0's and
-1's again in the list boxes. The structure of the forms displays fine but it
is the data that fails to display. The screen buttons work fine but I just
cannot see what I am looking at. Meanwhile, I can unplug it and run it again
fine on my own machine. I have tried loading it on to my colleagues c: drive
but get the same result.

We are both running Access 2003. I cannot see any difference in the
permissions between the two machines.

Thanks in advance

Dave

Don't see that you ever got a reply ...

You may need to re-attach the linked tables on your colleague's
machine using the Linked Table Manager.
