Hi Experts,
I had an Access database running on my old computer (Windows 98) all working fine, recently i had purchase a new computer (Windows XP) and i try to move the old access db to the new computer that all went smoothly too. When i tried to run the database the messageboxes appear said "C:\ClientsDB\Info\database.mdb" was not found but the database in my new pc is not even in those path it is under my document and settings folder. The reason i put it there because i only want myself to have access to that database. My question is how can I tells the database to reference the new one say from "C:\ClientsDB\Info\database.mdb" to "C:\Documents and Settings\Jing\ClientDB\Info\database.mdb" Can anyone point me to the right direction. Thanks in advance. |

Take a look at the Linked Table Manager.
You don't mention what version of Access you're using. Depending on version, the Linked Table Manager will be either under Tools | Add-ins, or Tools | Database Utilities -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

Hi,
Thanks for a quick reply, with the new pc i am currently using Access 2003 and the old one i am using Access XP. It run alright in Windows XP. How can i see Tools | Add-ins, or Tools | Database Utilities because there is no such menu. I think this is a compile access database that why i can see the standard access office menu but why with an extension of .mdb Any idea. Thanks "Douglas J Steele" wrote in message ...

Perhaps the normal menus have been replaced. Try holding down the shift key
while opening the database: that should override the startup options. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!) "Thi" wrote in message ...

Hi Douglas,
Wow, i learned something new today - didn't know that i could hold down the shift key while open the database. From here i should manage to find my way through. Many many thanks "Douglas J.
