Hi All,
With some help from you guys on here i have manged to build a small database which i want mutlple users to be able to use.

The file itself is on a shared drive where all users have access to be able to see the file in question.

The only issue is when they click on it to open it they get an error as follows:

[FONT=&quot]C:\Users\username\docements\File name database_beaccdb' is not a valid path. make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.[/FONT]

What i have noticed is that my actual file is saved at a tottal different location which starts with P:\

Anyone have any ideas?

Regards
P
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
No, but if you post what the issue was and how you corrected it, it may be helpful to future users who encounter similar problems.
