I have a database which has links to and from other databases and
spreadsheets. I have 4 linked tables from spreadsheets on a server which I
see as drive 'H' however I have colleagues in other parts of the country who
need to update this database from the linked spreadsheets who see this drive
as 'K', I have got round this problem with spreadsheets by using the UNC
address, however when I create a linked table in access I do not have the
choice to change the local address 'H/Sales/' etc to the UNC address, even
when going into 'change location' option. Has any one else had the same
problem and found a workaround.

Thanks in advance.
 
Already answered in another newsgroup to which you posted the same question.

If you feel you need to post to more than one group (HINT: it's seldom
necessary), please have the courtesy to cross-post (send the one message to
all groups at once), rather than multi-post (send individual messages to
each group). In this way, all responses to your post will be available
together, regardless of what group the responder was in, and the rest of us
won't have to read your post multiple times. (It also uses fewer server
resources)

I see you're using Outlook Express. Click the "Newsgroups:" label to the
left of the box containing the name of the current newsgroup. That will open
a dialog that will let you add additional newsgroups to your post.

Note that it's generally consider to be A Bad Thing to cross-post to more
than about 2 or 3 newsgroups.
 
Ok thanks.
