Hello,

I have finally completed a database I've been working on for sometimes (with
much thanks to Access Monster). After completion, I tested all aspects of
the database to see if there were any glitches. Fortunately, I only have one.
I created a form that includes links to two word document. Because the word
documents are on my C:drive, the opened without a problem for me. When
another person tried to open it on a shared drive, an error appeared and the
link don't open the word documents as they should. These links on the form
were created by inserting hyperlinks. Is there any way for me to create a
link to allow all users to open these word documents no matter the location?
I'm gathering that Access has no where to pull the information from when used
by "outside users"; therefore, creating an error. Please help.
 
The problem is that the files are on you C: drive. When another person tries
to access the data "Access" is tring to find the file on their C: drive. If
possible try moving the files to a location all users have access to (a LAN
server).
