Hi;
Using DAO,I can simply find a Connect path and SourceTableName of a link in
a Front End file.
But in contrary,is there a way to know if some links are connected to a
special table in a back end mdb file?In other word,when i work in a back end
file,and the front ends are not accessible (but are open),can i know that a
real table in the Data file feeds how many links in some front end files,and
know their Connect Path(that points to the Front Ends) and LinkedTableNames?
Thanks a lot for your help.
 
Hi,

KB 285822 will show you how to get the connections, but won't tell you
their actual purpose. The exact table links toward the BackEnd are
maintained at the "client" side (the FrontEnd), they are not mirrored
neither maintained at the BackEnd: that would be an additional problem to
keep them 'in synch' if they were maintained at two different places. The
locks by the users, on tables and records, are centralized in the back end,
the dot-ldb file, so you may try to investigate through the available
information about that file, on the web (I don't have any exact reference at
this moment).
