    Updating Linked Table Database Location (Runtime)

    Is there a way to program an .accde on open to check for the back end database to see if it exists. If it is no longer in that location, open a windows browser and allow you to point it to the new location, then have it update all the linked tables and remember the new location for it to check on the next start up. Application will be run in /runtime, therefore I can't just use the linked table manager to update it.

    Let me sort of respond to my own question. I know it is possible, and I have tried to find information on it. However I find that I am not entirely sure what I should be looking for. I assume it is probably some form of API. Any advice on this would greatly help.

    Thanks in advance,

    Dan

    Well I solved my own problem, after hours of searching and searching and searching, I actually landed on a very old developer resourse (Access 2000).

    If anyone is trying to do this I highly recommend downloading the Solutions.mdb database. You want the modRefreshTableLinks module.

    If you have any questions on this ask, I will do what I can to answer them.
