I must be doing something wrong...but I've followed several different tutorials and still can't get this to work.
My steps (in Access 2016):
1. Split database into BE/FE. BE is now on a network shared drive . FE is local drive.
2. Opened each one (individually) just to make sure they both open properly. They did. Everything looks like the split was successful.
3. Closed both BE and FE.
4. Opened BE in Exclusive mode. (network drive)
5. Encrypted BE using a password.
6. Closed BE
7. Opened BE and confirmed that the password was required.
8. Closed BE.
9. Opened FE (which is still located on the local drive)- but it will not open. It just goes to the Open screen with recent options. I tried to browse and open, but nothing. The database does not open.
Just for kicks, I tried this all on my local drive (FE and BE on my local drive) in case the network was causing any issues but I got the same results.
At that point I think I screamed. I gnashed my teeth, poured ashes on my head, and rent my cloak asunder. What am I doing wrong?
