Switchboard front end

[beckie1234]

I was wondering. I have created my switchboard and everything works great. All my forms show up like they are suppose to. Is there a certain process to loading the front end on the network and keeping the back end so that it can't be accessed?

You mean : tools > database utulities > database splitter

Split the database as said above.
Put the database back end in the main/server system
Copy the front end in whichever machines you need
Open the front end on ech copy
Use Link Table Manager to refresh the links
Bowse the path via the network places

Thanks that was exactly what I was wondering. I have split it but wanted to make sure how to set it up using the link table manager.

If you are wondering how to set up the links in the Linked Table Manager so that users don't have to have the same mapped drive, but use UNC, then here:

Please see that I have made a correction in my reply

I understood what you meant. I have used both bob's and your suggestions and was able to create a set of directions that hopefully doesn't leave out a step. Thanks to both of you.
