I have an Access database which is split, and have moved it from the network and a client machine to my machine to test and debug.

When I run the main/startup form, I get:

Run-time error 3044. [Old Path] is not a valid path.

Where “Old Path” is the path where the back-end file used to reside.

I found some posts that talked about using the Linked Table Manager, but this is greyed out in my backend database and does not exist as an option in my front end database.

I can’t find anywhere in the Module or form code where this gets set. Can anyone shed any light on where this information is stored?

    In the front end database, right click the table name (the one that has the little arrow on the top left) and choose “Linked Table Manager” from there.

    The reason it is not available in your backend database is because there are no linked tables in that database.

    When you open the front end and the form opens, the Navigation Pane is probably minimized on the left hand side. You can click that to get a list of objects.

    To remove the startup form, with the Front End opened, go to the Menu / Access Options / Current Database and change the startup form to none. In the same menu, scroll down and you can set options to show/hide the navigation pane.
