Thanks for you help. I know I was being stubborn, but that's just because
I
know what I saw. It did work by connecting with the short name however,
when
I originally connected it in the original back end, it connected using the
long name. I still have it connected in another database and when I look
at
the linked table manager, it shows the long name. I'd really like to know
why. I must have had some compatibility patch or something installed that
when I uninstalled/reinstalled access, I lost my ability to connect to
long
names. I don't know how else I could have connected to it before.
