MS Access Forum / Forms / October 2005Error Message Link is Broken
When the access database is open I have it open to a certain form. On my computer it works fine and opens to with that specific form. When others try to open the database they get an error message saying the link is broken. Is this a database problem or an Access problem? If Access how can this be fixed? Thanks SG Sounds as though your database is looking for a file that the other users don't know about, either because it's not on their machine, or because their drive letters aren't mapped the same as yours. How you fix it depends on what type of file is causing the problem. If you've got linked tables, and that's what's causing the problem, take a look at the Linked Table Manager.

We have some people that can open the database with no problem and others that cannot about 4 computer cannot open this form. They can open other froms in the database but the form that should open at start up will not open on some computers. Any more suggestions? > Thanks!
