Any one with a solution on how am I going to solve a network share problem. I have finished developed an Access application and Splitter the database, after compilered the application for installation and copy both the splitted copy and packaged file on a folder somewhere in a server as share the folder.

then I try to install the packaged fill on another computer over the network. It happened that after installation, the splitted table cannot be found by the installed program on the other compter.

Do you have an idea on how am I going to come around with this problem?

Any help will be appreciated.

How does the front end reference the back end?

If the back end tables are linked to the front end, then you will need to make sure that new computer you are installing the front end on has the same drive mappings as the computer you developed the application on.

For example, if the front end is looking for the back end on

Z:\BackEndFolder\BackendFile.mdb

But the computer you are installing the front end on sees the same folder as

Y:\BackEndFolder\BackEndFile.mdb

Then, even though you can see the back end from the new computer, it isn't in the proper location.

Try remapping the same drive letter and folder structure on the new computer and it should work.

If the tables use a System DSN, then you just need to install or modify that.

Otherwise you may have to recode for the Provider and File location.

I fix the problem like this
I create a folder on server and shared it sign appropriate right to the folder copy the Access file and splitter and save the back-end there. From there I package the application and install the packaged program to other computers. Very thing works fine.

Thanks for your time.
