Re: UNC

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Turn on display of path names in the windows file explorer.

(while in a folder go tools->options.

click on the "view" tab, and "check" the option to display the full address
in the address bar


Now, browse via my network places to the folder....
what does the path name look like:

If it is just the folder shared, then you should be able to use:

\\Backoffice\OldStuff\Current.mdb

So, if your just sharing the folder, the drive letter should not be needed
at all....

Remember, to link this file, use the linked table manager, and browse
through my network places..you wind up with a UNC linked back end...

You can then whack ctrl-g, and use the debug window to display the path
name;;

just type in the debug window:

? currentdb.TablesDefs("name of linked table").Connect

It will display your current linked path name....
