link database

[dgoulston]

is it possible to link a table to my database from another computer which is on the network, i want to use the ip address of the other computer to access the database is this possible

I dont think it's possible to link a table via IP address (Guys/Girls, please correct me if I'm wrong.). It is easy enough to link to an existing table in another Database though. Just go and create a new Table and when the Dialog box appears to create the table in Desing View, Datasheet etc... Choose "Link Table" at the bottom and follow the prompts.
