[AccessD] A2K: Another Trasnfer Database Q

Are you deleting the link before you try to relink?  I would expect it
to fail if you moved the file *anywhere*.  That's just the way Access
links work.  Are you using the entire path and filename in the filename
argument?

Hello all
When I try to import or link to a DBF or XLS file in the root directory
all is well. When I move the dbf or XLS file to ANY dorectory/folder the
import or link fails. Access spits up a long error message with Error
Number Saying that the path is invalid. That I should go and check that
it exists etc. Of course it exists I just created it for testing as well
as using pre-existing directories. The Docmd.Transfer works - why would
it fail when I use a folde? Yes I have tried quotes around the path and
xls specs

Any taker?

Many thanks in advance

Darren
