Default How to change the path to a split database file

I recently split my database and it automatically placed the be version of
the file in My Documents. Where do I go in Access 2007 to change the path if
I move the file from My Documents?

Nancy

Open the front-end.

Use the Database Tools tab ... then the Database Tools section.

Select "Linked Table Manager"

Hi Nancy,

If you want a more automated approach to relinking tables (much nicer
than Linked Table Manager), you're welcome to use our free J Street
Access Relinker on our J Street Downloads page: http://ow.ly/M56Q

It handles multiple Access back-end databases, ignores ODBC linked
tables, and can automatically and silently relink to back-end
databases in the same folder as the application (handy for work
databases or single-user scenarios). There's a ReadMe table with
instructions.
