Split Database Question (Can i apply a network path to the back end)

[homer2002]

hi,

I'm in the process of creating a split database.
However the company i work for seems to run a policy of "choose your own drive letter", so it's very hard to send out front ends as they will amost surly have a different drive letter to the person sitting next to them.

Is there a way that I can point the front end of a database to the network path of the back end, so they don't need a drive letter.

I'm sure I have seen this done, i just don't know how.


any help would be greatly recieved

A more stable way might be to put the full network path in, not relying on mapped drive letters at all. i.e. \\PCname\Folder\File.mdb

How do i do this?

when I split the database i just put the back end somewhere and don't know where to change the paths.
