When you split your database so that your tables are in one and your forms.... are in another, where do you go to change the link path? I split my db and then renamed the files/folders they were in. now they are no longer linked because the path names changed. How do I redefine the path?

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Sort by date Sort by votes
Right-click on the Tables and select "Linked Table Manager".
Check the tables you need to re-link, and check the "Always prompt for new location box", and click OK.
This will allow you to re-link the tables.
