I have a database query that I created in Access based on a share directory location. Now when other users try to run the report from the server it states in cannot find the path. I tried the button 'convert to unc' in the Set Database Location, but the path remains unchanged. I saw a similar posting for last year but the user never got a response.
 
Use the Set Location and instead of using your mapped drive letters, use the network neighborhood and go point to the folder directly on the machine.

The users will need to have permissions for that folder also.

Oh, and make sure that of you're using ODBC, you have the ODBC set up on the user's boxes.
