Link to Network Drive
I have a spreadsheet which links into an Access database, the database is on
a shared drive which I see as the 'H' drive, however there are a few users of this file who see it as their 'K' drive. I need to change the connection from the drive letter to the Network drive path to enable another user to be able to update this data in my absence but I can't see how to so this, any help would be very gratefully received. Thanks |

Link to Network Drive
I checked one of the spreadsheets that I have linked to one of my Access
databases, and I didn't see a way to change the query drive letters. Looks to me like you'll be better off creating another workbook or sheet with the new query for the time being.

Thanks Reference it by its true network name instead of your mapped drive- ie, if it is on a server called "myserve" then you would reference "\ \myserve" |

Yes, that's what I want to do, but I can't see a way of doing it, I go into
DataImport External DataNew Database Query, but then I do not get an option to use the Network drive path, just the 'H' drive, I have tried to modify the existing query but can't see a way of doing it there either.
