little more info is required, Tracy. Where does the MySQL db live? On a linux
box or Windoze? If the latter, is it a server that you have to anticipate will
be down? Or is your problem that somebody might put the db on another server? As
for me, given my druthers, since I'm using MySQL anyway I'd put it on a linux
box and hook in from there (since linux hardly ever needs to be
restarted).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Hi Listers</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Thought I'd ask:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>If the MyODBC is set up correctly on the PC
with the backend MySQL data file, is there a need to test the connection
during the opening of the Access Frontend ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Or would the MySQL always be accessable
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>If the MySQL data file isn't available - how do
you go about relinking the files to the MySQL data file ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
