I think that re-linking to just one table is a good idea if you have only
one BE file. If you get the first link then you know that the BE has been
successfully located and you can bail out from there.

  When re-linking try to keep one table open during relink process to avoid
   opening and closing ldb file, remove subdatasheets on backend tables.
  Once the first table has been refreshed, open a recordset based on that 
  table.
  Continue refreshing. Once finished refreshing close the recordset after
  you've opened a bound form (perhaps hidden) for performance reasons
