[AccessD] Connect Access app to MySQL using a connection string not a DSN

Arthur,

I got this from the Access Developer Handbook many years ago.

     For Each td In CurrentDb.TableDefs
            If Not IsNull(td.Connect) And td.Connect <> "" Then
                td.Connect = dsn
                td.RefreshLink
           End If
       Next

This thread reminds of another question I meant to ask. When walking the
tabledefs collection, how does one determine whether a table is linked or
local? I want to generate a list of each. There are something like 300
tables in the app, only about a dozen of which are local. But no special
naming convention was used to identify which are local, and walking the list
by hand is as exciting as watching paint dry.
