I just transferred my old database to my new pc by saving the folder the database was in (front and backend) onto disk. I then reformatted the old pc so everything is gone.
I am trying to open my database on my new pc. It opens but then comes up with: '\\DESKTOPPC\DesktopPC\Database\Toby3\Tonys_work_be.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
My new computers main drive is I. Unfortunately I am confused as there is no drive letter in the error, and there are 2 x \\?
Can someone please help urgently? My husband desperately needs his database back :(
Thanks Toby3

- Many thanks for your help. Well when I typed the above I had tried re-linking the tables but it didnt work as it was still trying to find the non-existent network folder. Unfortunately I failed to see the bottom tickbox "Always prompt for a new location"!!!!
I ticked that relinked the backend (which was on a different drive) and viola!!! Sorry for your trouble!! Husband happy now :)
try creating (if you have not already tried) the exact folder tree as [I:\DESKTOPPC\DesktopPC\Database\Toby3]. Now put the file "Tonys_work_be.mdb" into the folder named "Toby3".
