Automatic Linking of 2 Files

[Guest]

I have 2 files that are linked together. However, I'm trying to sell this as
a product and I'm trying to set it up so that the front-end will
automatically look in the same folder for the back-end file.

Has anyone done this or does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

Access/Jet only does 'absolute' links, not 'relative' links.

The only way to get it to link to the 'same folder' is to
relink after installation

Check on startup, and if the application has moved, relink.

Relink Access tables from code:

Or if you're a unix weenie, install 'hard links' in someplace
like \program files\common files\. :~)
