Chris, I did that, but nothing seemed to change. I ran the code, but in the MSysObjects table, the path didn't change. What am I missing?

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?
