All - Thanks for the help/advice/insights ... Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~ Rocky, In the situation that I am dealing with, the Excel file is a "Linked Table". This works fine. Now we want to be able to change the Path to this Linked Table with VBA code. I have this working using DAO, but I have some concern about using both DAO and ADO in the same application. It appears that using both DAO and ADO is Okay, but I am not 100% sure. Thanks, Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin Sent: Friday, April 22, 2011 8:45 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Using ADO to change a TableDef? Mixing ADO and DAO? What kind of change do you want to make? Wouldn't the path to the Excel file be stored as data in a text field in the table?

Mixing ADO and DAO? All, We have an existing Access 2007 application that uses ADO. We now want to enhance this application to be able to change a TableDef with VBA code so that we can change the path to an Excel file on the fly. Is it possible to change TableDefs with ADO? I have seen many examples of how to change TableDefs with DAO, but I have not yet discovered an example of how to do this with ADO. I am fairly new to the world of Access and I am still trying to wrap my little brain around the "ADO vs DAO" debate. Is it Okay to mix both ADO and DAO in a single Access 2007 application?
