MS Access Database problem?

Question

I'm using Microsoft Access application database which is a special kind of designed database.
recently I have purchased a new hard disk as my earlier hard disk was having low capacity.
I have copied my database from the old hard disk into the new hard disk and disassembled the old hard disk and kept away.
Now my problem is that, when I open the database, in the "Forms" section, I'm not able to access/open any forms. I face this message: "D:/Database name_be.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides."
My database is consist of 2 MS Access file one is "Database name" and other one is Database name_be. Both are located in one folder.

What is this mess!? Please help me.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Answer 1

under tools/database utitlities you can open linked table manager. Select all tables and check the check box under the list of linked tables. After u "briefed" your application with the new location (sounds u were i.e. on c: before), you should uncheck this check box in order to avoid question for new location. That should resolve your problem.



Just to make sure that I understood correctly: the _be.mdb database is your back end. it contains data, only, no forms, reports. It was generated by using the database splitter utility.

Answer 2

Is the other machine running the same or later software? if not it may not understand the 2000/ access data. Are you sure you are copying the whole database. And how big is the flash drive? If the data is bigger than the drive it will drop data once it is full. Better if the machines are in the same network to copy the data across the network using shared folders. You will need thehole mdb file.

Answer 3

You have to relink the other database, now that everything has been moved around. Once you relink the database, it will start working again.

Answer 4

a forward slash in windows doesn't seem right. are you sure your file is under D:/
