Hey everyone I hope some one here can help. I have a shared access 2003 database on a two computer network the file is hosted on one computer and the other opens it from a mapped network drive. the problem is no matter what side I open it from its as if I am opening it individually on each computer. even if I open it on the host computer edit it then close it then reopen it on the other computer after the host is out of it the data still isn't there. Please tell me what i am doing wrong

Greatly Appreciated
Dan

You could try this substituting Drive Letter for your Mapped Drive Letter, Your Shared Folder and Database Name. You didn't say what Version of Office that you were using so navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\ and check the folders. Create a shortcut from the modified link below.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE" "Drive letter:\Shared Folder\Access.mdb"
