A03 - linked table manager does not show tables

[Andrew Backer]

Sorry to post this here, but I can't figure out exacty where to put
this and nothing has any traffic

I have a bunch of linked tables which work fine. The problem is that
when I go to linked table manager it doesn't show any of them.

I have tried creating a new database with new links, and the dialog is
still empty. Opening the database without the backend brings up an
error, but the dialog is still empty.

I have A2K installed as well as A2003, and this database is in access
2003 format. If I open an A2K database in A2K, all still works well.

Is there any way to fix this, or is it just a side effect of having
both installed. In any case, I am migrating databases from A2K to
A2003 and was wondering about anything I should take into
consideration.

Thanks,
Andrew

Forgive me for wasting anyone's time I didn't google right. Here
is the KB article fixing this issue :

In my case I have a /8.0/ and /8.1/ keys. the /8.1/ has the same
subkeys, but was linked up properly. I modified the
/8.0/0/win32/(default) value to reference office 2003 instead of office
2000. It used short names ( MICROS~1, etc), but It works fine with the
fully specified path included.
