I have connected my laptop to my desktop using a simple network card and an RJ45 crossover cable (and a couple of hours tinkering with the configuration in Network Neighbourhood).
I can now open, from my desktop, my database 'front-end' which resides on the laptop, but the database with tables this is linked to refer to "C:\my documents\data" etc. This of course opened an old copy of the data residing on the hard drive of my desktop from before I was able to network the two. (Yes I had entered quite a bit of data before I realised!)
Is there any way I can redefine the links between the front-end and the tables database so that both laptop and desktop can access them.
I would never want to open the database from both laptop and desktop at the same time.
I have Access 97 (and Windows 98) on both machines.
