Best way to link an MDE file

W

Hi

I am about to create an MDE file of my database. It will be available
on several computers and I was wondering what would be the best way of
linking each computer to it?

Would it be by specifying the path C:/blah/blahblah or another way?

If so could someone please tell me the way to do the other method?

Thanks

Colin

If this mde is going to be distributed, you should use UNC path designation
rather than drive mapping:
\\ServerName\Folder\SubFolder

Each computer will map the same network location as different drive letters.

It would be wise to either acquire or write a linking routine for the mde
available to the user to do the linking.
