i have what i'm certain must be a common issue, and am wondering if there is
a "usual" way of handeling it...
On the main form, that opens when the database is loaded, I have information
(in text boxes and labels...) that comes from a linked back end table. The
problem is that if the table is moved, the links fail and the main form
won't open. (don't ask the circumstances... just know that it is quite
possible that the b/e table could be moved, or renamed, or what have you...
and this is an inherited given and must accomadated)
I thought something like on exting the database I should relink the tables
to the front end database.. naw, that doesn't make any sense... maybe I
should create a splash page that validates the file location and that, if
necessary, gives a way of re-mapping the link!?!?!
This must happen all the time; how do the ecxperts handel it?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
thank in advance,
mark
