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?
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
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.
