[AccessD] Possible to set external ACCDB navigation properties through code

[Bill Benson]

John, not sure how to search that website but I will give it a try
tomorrow. In the meantime if you post link here that will help. Always
delighted to learn something is within the realm of the possible.


Another thing I've been looking to do is create a bulletproof vba routine
to regroup objects in the navigation groups. Particularly would be helpful
when running make table queries and re-attaching linked tables from user
defined locations (retrieved with filedialog).

Messing with system tables makes me nervous to begin with - then every SQL
query I looked into to accomplish it, I would look in the MSYS tables and
not see valid (expected) entries in the tables people said those SQL
queries should update - so I gave up and figured that messing with such
tables was a really bad idea!
