I have a database that I've created for someone else to use. It's split into a front and back end. The user will be placing the front end on her desktop PC and the back end on a network server.

She also will be taking the database home to use from time to time. My problem is that when the database is split, upon opening, it looks for the back end on the network drive, which is unavailable when she's away from the office.

Is there a way to tell the Access to look in a directory relative to the one it's in?
 
On the front end db click on Tools then Database Utilities then click on Linked Table Manager

You will then be able to link the front & the back end together again in the directory that it's in :)
