MS Access error "not a valid path"

I have moved an MS Access database (97 and 2000)from one server to another, now when I go to print a report from the switchboard menu I get this error " is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelledcorrectly and ethat you are connected to the server on which the file resides".

I cannot find where within an Access database is there a place to specify the path of an associated table. How/where do I change this path so that I can run it from any server?

Thank you.

After opening the database, go to File -> Database Properties. You should be able to modify the path there.

Thank you for trying to answer my question, however I already had tried that route and there is NO path that I can see to change. Any other thoughts?

Hello,

maybe it's not the database, but I think you have linked tables in your mdb.
To resolve this, use: Menu Extras/Database Utilities/Linked Table Wizard (not sure I use the german version).
