Automatic Table Link Refresh

K

Kevin

Is the a way to automtically refresh links to remote tables. I want to be
able to refresh the links on a database setup with remote tables. I am
developing a database that has links to Outlook and at least one other access
database. When I put this application onto a new computer, I want to be able
to refresh these links so there are no problems. If I could do that without
user inpute that would be even better.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi, Kevin.

Please see the article, "Relink Access tables from code," on the following
Web page:

http://www.mvps.org/access/tables/tbl0009.htm

You can use the suggested prompt for user input to supply the path and file
name for the linked tables, or your code can check a table in the database
where this path and file name are stored for the remote site's network,
thereby leaving the user out of the loop.

HTH.
