now there is a million dollar question. My best guess would be no.
If you think about it, accesses to the table may not even be done via "links"
which implies an Access FE. The access to the tables may come from VB, a
web page etc. All of these could use DAO or ADO.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

think the best that you can do is look at the LDB (lock file) and see who is
CURRENTLY using the db. This method is far from reliable however since
there are cases where "user data" is not cleaned out of this file when the user
shuts down abnormally etc.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Who is linked to my back end?<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>In a case of a "back end" holding data and various "front end
interfaces", is there a way to determine who or what is linked to the back
end? Any script I can run on the back end to determine what is linked to it
and what tables is that other database looking at?</DIV><BR><BR>
