I have a database set up with a be/fe situation and am trying to teach a
co-worker how to do some things in Access. She updated one of the tables in
the be, so I told her to open the fe, right click on the table and click
"Linked Table Manager" to update the information in the table. However, when
she did this, the Linked Table Manager pop up shows up completely blank. She
can't find see any of the files. I have the database (both fe and be) saved
on a shared drive that she has access to, so I know that isn't the problem.

Any ideas?
 
Might be the issue noted in this MS Knowledge Base article:

BUG: List of currently linked tables may not appear in Linked Table Manager
Wizard in a database in Access 2003

Most of us MVPs and others have been successful with fixing this problem
only by manually changing the registry key value (the article discusses
this); reregistering the accwiz.dll file hasn't worked for most of us.
 
Thanks a lot Ken. Since this is at work, I think I'll forward this to the IT
guys (they get pissy if you start messing with things without their input).
Thanks again,
Shaun
