I have split a database that is in the latter stages of development. All the users have the shared folder where the back end is stored on drive G:, however one user came to use from another area and has that drive mapped to letter S:.
Now, with the tables linked to drive G....how do I handle this person with the shared folder on drive S? Do i simply go into her local copy and with the linked table manager set it to S:\xxx

use the UNC instead of the drive letter. In the linked table manager you will have to type the UNC in manually because if you use the filer browser it will return the drive letter path. Then it will work for everyone
