Changing DSN for linked tables

[Mark Ferri]

Hi,
One of the users in our organisation uses an Access (7
database that consists of many linked tables ( linked via
ODBC). We recently upgraded the database it links to.
Is there a way to modify the DNS properties of the linked
tables or do they have to be dropped and recreated?

If I select a table and view properties it
displays "Linked Table ODBC" plus a description of the DSN
it is using. There doesn't seem to be anyway to change it.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Any help would be gratefully received, I know next to
nothing about Access development having only ever dealt
with SQlServer.

regards

Check out the code at http://www.mvps.org/access/tables/tbl0010.htm for how
to change ODBC linked tables.

Or take a look at

avoid using a DSN.
