Split DB Woes

[fenhow]

Hello,
I have a split db. Developed in access 2013.
The issue I am having is when my BE is renamed or moved the FE opens to the generic Access screen and will not allow me to load the file so I can relink or correct the path to the BE. Older versions of Access would prompt me cannot find BE etc.. the 2013 version does not.

Is there a way I can open the FE so I can modify the links to the BE?
Thanks,
Fen

I think that is controlled now from External Data>>Import & Link>>Linked table manager.

Why would the BE change name or move though?

Thanks, so I am working from home today and brought the FE and BE with me to do some dev. I cannot get my FE to open though. Usually if the BE is missing I get a bark and am allowed to update links etc.. How can I get to External Data etc.. when the FE gui will not present?
Thanks.
Fen

Can a tool like the Jstreet relinker help you?
