Hello!
I've got problem with data base in Acad :(

I was working on laptop, created drawing and Access data base. I did it as a trial, placed few records (data base was on local c drive).
Than I started to work on PC, I copied data base on server, changed it, updated it and linked it to the drawing. Everything was working fine (on PC). I was ready to do presentation on laptop, opened drawing stored on server and I thought that data base would be updated. instead of my new data base I had that old one.
Link template was the same (it was the same name) as one on my PC but old data base. Is there a command to update data base?
What have I missed?

I would appreciate any comments!

Check the udl file, it's still looking for the old one which is on the local drive that never got updated. Either create a new dbconnect or replace the old database with a copy from the server.

Yes, it was pointing to the old data base (on local drive) & Map updated it after I restarted the drawing.

Thank you for your help!
