[AccessD] Open Linked Table Manager from code

The linked table manager is an add-in that, in my experience, is not 
installed by default in 97 and 2000 versions.  I have yet to work in an 
envrionment where this add-in was available when I walked in the door so the 
DoMenuItem and RunCommand approaches have been of little use.  You will be 
better served in the long run to set the connect property of a tabledef 
object and then call the refreshlink method of that tabledef object.  This 
is especially true if your users may be in unknown environments.  Rolling 
your own relinking code is not difficult and allows you to simplify the 
procedure for users by stipulating which tables may be relinked without 
asking the users to make selections.  User 'interference' can get really 
ugly if you have multiple backend files of varying types in various 
locations where some may be ISAM, others ODBC and yet others native Access 
files.
