Hi Jim,<br />
It had been a while since I setup a split Access database. &nbsp;The permissions for the folders on the host were good, it was the front-end that I needed to tweak. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Everyone, <br />
I have a simple peer to peer setup for an Access 2003 database. &nbsp;The database is hosted on a Win 7 32bit computer. &nbsp;I shared the folder and elected to use Password instead of Windows to managed shared folders on the host computer. &nbsp;I can access the shared folder on the 2nd computer which is a Win 8.1 64 bit PC. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The problem is when I try to open the database, it will open but then errors because it cannot connect to the BE file. &nbsp;I tried logging in and re-linking the BE file while on the Win 8.1 PC using UNC and even a mapped drive (because various errors point to the path of the BE file looking for them on the host computer) but have not had any success. &nbsp;It is like the Windows 8.1 computer cannot shake the path to the BE files that is only relevant to the host computer. &nbsp;Any suggestions? &nbsp;Is this clear?

Cannot link tables in Access database

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.
