I did some more googling and I found someone who had the same problem.
Here
is the error I'm getting
"<Path> 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.
(Error 3044)"
I've moved the BackEnd and tried relinking the tables, it relinked all the
sucessfully instead of the one I'm having trouble with. When I go into
the
BE, I"m able to open the table in a datasheet view. But when I'm in the
front end, I click on the Form to be Opened (Either from my switchboard,
or
directly from teh side bar) and it gives me the above error.
The person who also had this problem just ended up deep sixing their
database
and creating a new one and im****ting the old data.
