I have a front end application and 20 different company mdbs to serve as a
back end (they need to be kept separate for many reasons). The company
abbreviations (which serve as the folder names in which CompanyData.mdb is
stored; all company mdbs have the same database file name) is stored in a
Front End table called tblLocations. The code to change databases and relink
tables works quite well.
The problem is that the customer oftentimes needs to change databases
several times during the day, and with each change/relink, the front end
database grows quite large, from about 16Mb up to 40Mb and beyond with at
least 3-4 changes of the back end data file.
Is it simply the relinking of tables that would cause this, or is it more
likely that the code is dumping data into temporary files and not getting
cleaned out properly? The code is quite long, so I didn't want to post it
initially.
Thoughts/ideas appreciated.
