[AccessD] A2003: Putting both Front and Back ends on a removable drive

Hi Darren:

If each drive is named then those names should be able to be used. If one
drive was named BE and the other was named FE then I believe the following
would work when referring to one or the other:

\\FE\MyFE_Direcory and \\BE\MyBE_Directory

Subject: [AccessD] A2003: Putting both Front and Back ends on a removable
drive

Hi Team

 

I have a client who has one of those portable laptop drives in a USB case -
Cool

 

He wants both the front and back ends of his APP to reside on this drive but
wants the Front 

end and Back end to still remain separate - for ease of use of data backup -
Cool also

 

This means getting the front end to 'talk' to the back end without using
drive
letters etc

 

In the old DOS days you could use a syntax (I have forgotten it) to simply
refer
to 'things'

on the current drive and even current folder

 

Does anyone know how I would go about linking the FE and BE on the same
drives

(In this case a removable one) thus without using drive letters etc?

 

Many thanks in advance

 

DD
