Hello DatabaseMX
I do change the references as you mention, but nothing happen. i get the same problems.
But when I  "compact and repair" the database at the same devices i need to play it on, it seems to be work properly. I test it at two of the devices not working before. And it's work good now?!!!

I had a similar issue with one of my databases. The issue would only arise when 'Compact on Close" was set. In my case this error was due to one of my linked tables that was linked using a UNC path, while all the others used a mapped drive letter.
I have not tracked down the root of why this is an issue, but removing the UNC linked table before the database closes did resolve this issue for me.
I hope this helps!

"one of my linked tables that was linked using a UNC path"
i am sorry, but what is "UNC path linking" please?
Guess I am confused.  Does

"But when I  "compact and repair" the database at the same devices i need to play it on, it seems to be work properly."

... it is now working ?

yes. but it needs from me to "compact and repair" at each 2010 office device.
"i am sorry, but what is "UNC path linking" please?"
It means basically not using any Mapped Drive letters, but instead the Full Network Path to a Server where the back end folder is located.

My Network Places >> Entire Network >> Microsoft Windows Network >> SomeWorkgroupName >>
SomeFolderName >> SomeBackEndDbName

thank you
in case of jwilberd:
i have all of my tables are linked to Back end DB except one table is included in the same front end mdb file. and i name it UsysMytablename for security issue.
i'll try to transfer it to the Back end and see what i 'll get!
thanks a lot
and very sorry for late
