How to generically link to back end

[Cathy]

I have a database that was built by someone else that I'm trying to maintain.
It is a front end/back end design. I need to move it to a new location. In
it's present location the link between the two halves has the back end link
as //Directory/Folder/XXX.mdb. Whenever I try to move it it takes on my
drive name like: F:/Directory/Folder/XXX.mdb. How do I set it up with the
more generic format so that users don't have to have their drive mapped like
mine?

Thank you,

When you use the linked table manager to link to the new location, use 'My Network Places' to navigate to the backend - this will use the UNC pathname instead of the mapped drive.

Thank you so much Joan! It worked perfectly.
