| I've created a Access 2007 database on a network share drive. This database has linked tables from a SQL server database. Whenever I have co-workers create an ODBC connections to match my settings and test the connection, they are unable to open any of the linked tables within the database. Error: ODBC- - - connection to 'Table Name' failed. Any thoughts on how to share this database with others? Angel |

| The problem was that I created the ODBC connection under User DNS instead of System DNS. Then I removed all the linked tables, readded them with the ODBC connection listed under System DNS and now others are able to user the database. |
