Thanks, I'll give it try -- tomorrow..

Doesn't the 'linking' process try to 'find' the source? You could strip the 'prompts', and hardcode the 'path'. Then have the opening code on your database check to see if it can open a 'linked' table, if it can't, have it relink the tables with your hard coded path. (the user wouldn't see anything at all, and you now have relinked tables when you need them). Just a thought.

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?
