[Solved] How to copy a Base db to another PC?
Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2018 10:45 pm
Hello all!
I am new to Open Office Base but have worked, for many years, with Access and SQL Server. My problem is trying to copy a small Base db (that helps my local HOA track tennis members, courts and matches) to my HOA's PC. After copying the odb file to the HOA PC I can launch the "new" db but when I try to access any content (tables, forms, etc) I get the following:
The connection to the data source "Mens Tennis" could not be established
The URL 'file:///C:/Users/stan/Documents/Mens%Tennis' is not valid. A connection can not be created.
After numerous hours of scouring the internet for an explanation I have humbly come here seeking enlightenment! I have copied Access files from one PC to another many times (provided it was not a shared db). It goes without saying that I am probably missing a simple item or concept. FYI the odb file has been registered with the correct path and I have tried placing it in both user and new directories with the same result. Any help with what seemed to be a simple process is greatly appreciated!
