Move Split Database

[dropdown3 via AccessMonster.com]

I have a database that is split into FE and BE.

Front End: "3rd Party Client Database" located:
L:\Cash Support Department\Third Party Commercial Deposit Processing\Assigned
Third Party Tasks\

Back End: "3rdPartyClientDb_be" located:
L:\Cash Support Department\Charles Good\Access Databases\

We're in the process of moving all this from the L: drive to the N: drive and
I have searched and read about Universal Naming Convention and Linked Table
Manager. Basically, can I just cut and paste my database FE and BE and then
open Linked Table Manager and fix the links? Sorry for such simple question,
but how can I convert to UNC? This database is the meat of our department and
I want to make sure everything converts smoothly.

To convert to a UNC through the file manager, don't select the mapped drive
letter, but instead find the server/share through the Network Neighborhood.

BTW, your front-end should really be on the user's hard drive. Having the
front-end on the server will generate more network traffic. Hopefully you
aren't having multiple users opening that one front-end.
