I earlier posted this question under general questions but soomeone gave a
blank answer so I thought this question might fit better with coders anyhow.
Existing threads I have scoured discussing linking to backends all have
unique issues that do not address my more basic issue. I have a couple of
users who are not computer skilled enough to use Link Manager so I would like
to programmatically link to the master backend when hooked to the server and
to the local replica backend when in the field with a laptop. I envision
something like:
If: hooked to server site Then: use server mdb as backend
else set dbs backend to predefined local replica. Conflicting info makes me
unsure or even if to use something like Set dbsCurrent = CurrentDb. If you
can point me to an example this would be much appreciated but I am sure there
is a much more elegant and simple way to do this. Thank you
