When you create a data access page, Microsoft Access manages the related files and plans the links and so that the images appear and the links work when the pages are placed on the final .
Managing and naming supporting files
When you save your file as a data access page in Design view, all supporting files such as bullets, background textures, and graphics are by default organized in a supporting folder. If you move or copy your data access page to another location, you must also move the supporting folder so that you maintain all links to your page.
For example, suppose you have a page called Page1.htm. It includes bullets, which are stored in a supporting folder called Page1_files. The relative paths for the image files are \Page1_files\image001.gif and \Page1_files\image002.gif. If you move Page1.htm, you must also move the supporting folder (Page1_files) to the new location.
By default, the name of the supporting folder is the name of the data access page plus an underscore (_), a period (.), or a hyphen (-) and the word "files." The word "files" will appear in the language of the version of Microsoft Office 2000 used to save the file as a data access page. For example, suppose you use the Dutch language version of Office 2000 to save a file called Page1 as a data access page. The default name of the supporting folder would be Page1_bestanden.
