Error with linked database on shared server location

[PaulA]

Greetings--

I reccentely converted and adapted a A2K database to Access 2007. It was a split database with linked tables.

I placed the two files at in a folder in a shared server location. What seems to be happening is that only one user can have the links work. A second user gets an error message: "so and so location (the linked tables location) is not a valid path", etc. If I delete the links and re-establish them, the links will work for that person, but then the first person (who didn't get the error before) will get the error.

It's like the links are only valid for one person.

Any ideas why this would be happening?

Thanks!

Update: I had the users try with only one person in the db at a time and it didn't help.

Give each user a separate copy of the front end.

Thanks for your response, Galaxiom--

Actually found out what the problem was--the IT person at the site had mapped diffierent staff to different letters for the share folder.

There it is...

IT person needs to think more about what they are doing.

However prevailing wisdom is that each user should still have a separate front end to keep their interaction with the database entirely separate.

Agreed--

Thanks again.
