splitting dbase in a different network drive

[G]

Hello experts,

I'm almost done with my dbase but i didn't realize that this issue will come
out. My dbase is loc in our network server G:\myfolder\dbase.mdb and planning
to split save in the same loc. The problem now, users of this dbase are in
diff site, yes they can access in our network server but with different drive
letter. Instead of G:\folder\dbase.mdb they have S:\myfolder\dbase.mdb or
Y:\myfolder\dbase.mdb and others. What should I do for the user or on the
dabase so they don't need to relinked their tables. Is their a way that once
I split the dbase the drive will be like "whateverletter:\myfolder\dbase.mdb.

Thanks for the help!

I explain here in my article about splitting that you want to use UNC path
names:

that means DO NOT use mapped drives, but simply use:

\\servername\foldername\YourBackEnd.mdb

If you use the linked table manager and browse though the network icon, then
you get a unc path name, and changing drive letters will thus not harm, or
hurt your case.

A few things:

You MUST place a copy of the front end on EACH computer for reliability.
(read
the above article as to why you place a copy on each pc, .and then READ IT
AGAIN!!!!).

I also noticed you talking about people on a different area/site. Is this a
LAN or a WAN??? You BETTER read the following to prevent some egg on your
