I have a windows NT box running the access 97 database for
8 users. 7 of the users run win 98, the access 97 front
end locally and attach to the NT box via drive mapping to
G:\Access\xxxxxx_be.mdb However, a new machine, running
win2k was installed, access 97 installed, the access 97
front end, and the drive mapped to G:\Access\xxxxxx_be.mdb
and full permission given to the user. When the user opens
the front end, it opens fine, but as soon as she attempts
an update to the database, she gets the message
G:\Access\xxxxxx_be.mdb is not a valid path. Verify the
spelling of the path, and that you are connected to the
server. She can see the server, use non access files from
it with no problem. I even tried running the frontend from
the server with the same results.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
