Jim, The code I sent earlier will do what you want, the two things you needed to do were to modify the Connect String to reflect the actual path to your back end .mdb file and make sure you had a reference to DAO. Let me know if you need help setting that up.

What I would like to do, is relink to the BE without being connected to BE location. IOW: set the path to the BE in the FE, FTP the FE to the client, and have it work! Is that even possible? If not, using your solution, I could have the client "setup" by using an update form.

Then from a Macro or Event put fRefreshLinks.

Thanks again.

It is all with code from the Access Web. (It made a semi-daunting task take about 2 minutes to develop...hehehe) Drew -----Original Message----- From: Jim Hewson [mailto:JHewson at karta.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 9:34 AM To: 'accessd at databaseadvisors.com' Subject: [AccessD] Linking Tables manually Folks, New FE and BE for a client. I can use FTP to get the files to their network. I know the network path from the FE to the BE. I also know that the MSysObjects table cannot be edited manually. Is there a way to update the links without using the Linked Table Manager at the client's site?
