Hi All,
I thought I was done with my application. It was split, encrypted, locked down, nice and tight. I opened my development copy and made some minor updates to a formula (no changes to databases or anything) and also added some text labels on a form or two. So I moved my dev copy (UI and Backend) to my test folder and went to the Linked table manager to update the links. I am getting inundated with "The Microsoft engine could not find the object 'Ent' (or in other cases 'Con' or some other item that means very little to me). Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly. If it is not a local object, check your network connection or contact the server admin.
I am at my wits end. How am I supposed to convince someone else to use access if I can't use it. I did nothing to the tables. I went back to my older version on an offline storage device and was able to update the links on that copy once. And then tried it again, and started getting the same messages. I am using windows 8 (new version of access, etc).
What really boggles my mind is that I am browsing to the tables to link to, I am not spelling anything.
What am I supposed to do with this? Have you experienced this before? MIcrosofts site had very little info on it.
Thanks in advance,
