Hiram,

I had the same problem and I figured it out this morning.
I assume you are running 64 bit Windows 7 like I am.
The problem lies in the fact that the table links are pointing to the Program Files folder and not the Program Files (x86) folder.

Here's the fix:
Hold down the shift key while opening RR.
This will open Access with a list of tables on the left side of the screen.

Right click any table in the list and then click Linked Table Manager in the context menu that pops open.
Any entry in that list with a path of C:\Program Files\Reloaders Reference instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\Reloaders Reference needs to be fixed.
Again, I am assuming you are running 64 bit Windows 7.

One at a time, click the checkbox next to an entry with a bad path, click ok and browse to the location of the database named in the bad path.

For instance, Manuals for me was listed as such:
Manuals (C:\Program Files\Reloaders Reference\m.mdb)
I browsed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Reloaders Reference\m.mdb
highlighted that m.mdb file, clicked open and it updated the link in the Linked Table Manager.
Do that for all that require it.

The manuals are listed as Manuals, Manuals1, 2 3, and 4.
Targets are Targets, Targets1, 2, 3, and 4.

That should fix you up.

Thank you.

Tried the recommendation: Access does Not open with the side ables, etc.. Tried OpenOffice ... this;l ocks-uo, re saved it as a different Access file and then tried to access it, no good.

All that I get are comments re the non availability of the tables.

Windows 7 Home Premium

Access if from Office 2010


Any other ideas anyone?

I believe my friend MT Gianni is talking about this page here. (http://www.castpics.net/project2/CastDatalist.php)

Dr. Bill, is your Win 7 Home Premium the 64 bit version?
I am going to assume it is for now.

If you hold down the shift key until Rel Reference opens, do you see the ribbon up top?
If you do, click the external data tab.
Now click Linked Table Manager button.
Now check the links as stated in my previous post.
Let us know how this works for you.
