[AccessD] Table links using MySQL

A 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).

Hi Listers
Thought I'd ask:
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 ?
Or would the MySQL always be accessable ?
 
If the MySQL data file isn't available - how do you go about relinking the
files to the MySQL data file ?
 
Cheers Tracy
