I've been getting a message that says the network connection can't be found.
What does that mean? Here's what I've been doing.
Over the course of time I've developed about 8 or 10 fairly simple databases
to track data at work. Well now my people have all these shortcuts on their
computers and I thought I'd condense these databases into one database.
I've dont this by creating a new database and then importing all the objects
from the other databases.
Instead of creating "command buttons" to activate the other forms I've been
creating images. The I use some code "on click" to make the image do the
same thing the command button does.
The problem has been at times when I click on the image button I get the
"network connection can't be found" message. Then I have to delete the
image and create it new again.
At first I just thought that the path to the files was broken or something
but I'm not sure.
If all of this sounds jumbled it's because for the most part I don't know
what I'm doing. As I've said I have created several databases but fairly
simple and when more intricate work has been needed I've used this forum to
get things done.
So can anyone tell me what this means and how do I fix it or get around it?
Thanks,
Don...............
 
To determine if you have a network issue:
Next time you get the error message, open a DOS Window and enter NET USE then
press Enter.
This will list any network connections. If your database is on a network
drive, you should see that network connection listed here... with no errors.
If not, that's a problem too. You will have to determine if you lost a
network connection or not... you haven't provided enough information for me
to do it. (I doubt this is the problem though)

Next, you need to review your "condensed into one database" and look for any
reference to a table or database that needs to be addressed. I would venture
to say that this is where your problem is... but again, not enough
information to correctly identify the problem area.

Were the 8 or 10 simple databases spread all over your network or all located
