Him...not sure.  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.

Drew,
That worked... but...
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.
Thanks,
Jim

Copy the text in the attachment into a module.  Then from a Macro or Event
put fRefreshLinks.

Thanks Chris and Drew,
I couldn't get either one to work, yet!
Thanks again.

I wrote a little function that can be called from a macro, which just
prompts the user for the BE location (with a file open dialog).  It is all
with code from the Access Web.  (It made a semi-daunting task take about 2
minutes to develop...hehehe)

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?

Thanks,

Jim
