3044 error in Access
I have two computers networked Windows 10 together and have moved to two new computers windows 11. I have also moved from Microsoft 365 to 2024 office professional plus. Everything seems to work on the new computers except one Access database. That file has a front and back built in. I get a 3044 run error and the data base will not open. The error says it can not find the data base. I think in the transfer the old computer may have a different name than the new, It appears that is the problem. In the network I can see both new computers, it seems they are set up correctly but that could be a problem as well. I simply do not know how to fix it. I hope someone here may have a solution.

You can use the Linked Table Manager to fix the path for the errant database,
You'll find it under External Data on the Ribbon.
One possibility is that the original link was created on a Mapped Drive, rather than the UNC path to the back end. It's always safer to rely on UNC paths for linked tables.
