I have the following issue with my client database... I set up the database on the server and the front end on the client machine. Also I linked the front end to the server using the linked table manager. Then, I created a desktop shortcut to the front end that links to c:\database\access.mdb When I double click on the desktop shortcut, it opens up, after 2 minutes and says, "Access file, c:\database\access.mdb (or one of its components) not found". When I click ok, the application opens and I can see it working fine. So it is getting connected to the data on the server. The user has administrator rights to the local machine, but not to the server. All workstations users have the same rights. The front end is running in a Win 2000 pro machine with Access 2000. The server is SBS 2000 with all latest updates. The other workstations have the same setup, and seem to be working fine. Why am I getting this error? Can it be any sort of a user access related Issue. Suggestions please..............
