I got the issue on table names, thanks. The problem is
(seems) more complex however. When I use the method
described to re-link to a table I do not see the table
that I want to link to. I believe the linked manager is
looking at my computer only. When I use my laptop to
attempt to link to the table I don't see it at all... It
is as if when I created the table it was created on MY
computer only. However, we were able to input records
from another computer but the newly input records could
not be viewed by any other computer.
 
About linked tables:
first open the BE database to insure the table is there.
if no..... locate the actual table with the data then.....
check the data, is it all there?
if no..... locate the actual table with the data then.....
close the database where you found the data and note it's
location. Next open the front end. Then delete the current linked table
reference. Now open the file menu, get external data....link table. check
the box in the lower left corner of the window to choose another location.
Find your BE database from above and select that table from the list.
IMPORTANT! test to be sure it works, then you must redistribute the front
end to all the other workstations.(everybody needs the good working front
end.)
