Activate the External Data tab of the ribbon.
Is the Linked Table Manager button in the Import & Link group enabled? If so, click it to see which tables are linked.
Best wishes,
Hans

A .accdb database can link to a .mdb database, so you could leave it as it is. But in the long term, it's better to update it to .accdb.

Hi Hans,

Thanks for your guidance. At first i really dont know where this file is located due to every time we open this file there is a Mapping process using MS-DOS Batch File to my server, so in future is it necessary to performing this Mapping(MS-DOS Batch File)?

Do you really need the mapping? If you use UNC format \\server\share\folder\..., you don't need a drive letter such as Y:

I don't know what the batch file does - I haven't seen it.
A batch file can be edited using any text editor such as Notepad.
Best wishes,
