When the access database is open I have it open to a certain form. On my
computer it works fine and opens to with that specific form. When others try
to open the database they get an error message saying the link is broken. Is
this a database problem or an Access problem? If Access how can this be
fixed?

Thanks

Sounds as though your database is looking for a file that the other users
don't know about, either because it's not on their machine, or because their
drive letters aren't mapped the same as yours.

How you fix it depends on what type of file is causing the problem.

If you've got linked tables, and that's what's causing the problem, take a
look at the Linked Table Manager.
 
Thanks! I will have IT check the mapping of the other users and let you know
the results.
 
Well this did not work. We have some people that can open the database with
no problem and others that cannot about 4 computer cannot open this form.
They can open other froms in the database but the form that should open at
start up will not open on some computers. Any more suggestions?
 
Not without knowing what file it's complaining about, and what the form is
doing with that file.
