[AccessD] Linked Tables - UNC Path

Lol.  I apologize...I think you're making the assumption that I have
existing relinking code already in place...I don't:(  This my first time at
a TRULY multi-user app.  Maybe I need to be walked through this, but the
built-in linked table manager appears to use drive-letter mappings, not UNC.
If I deploy the front-end to a person who doesn't have the same drive-letter
mappings, I get an error.  What I was looking for was an approach that
(1)mimics published relinking code, such as
http://www.mvps.org/access/tables/tbl0009.htm,  (2)forces UNC naming, yet
(3)doesn't include possible user intervention.

Hi Mark

Hmmm .. I'm not sure I can follow you here - if you have the UNC path
it doesn't matter wether the user has a drive mapped to it or not. You
just need to relink with the UNC path. But why relink if you have
deployed the app linked to the UNC path of your choice?
