This is the technique I subscribe to. If your tables are in more than one BE test the link to one table in each BE. That's enough to know there's an issue. If an issue is discovered remember to take the advice in other messages in this thread to keep an open connection to a table to speed up relinking.

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 <../performancefaq.htm>.
