Hi all,

I intend to frequently email a split database to a user who is
geographically to far away to travel to. The front end of the database is
the part that will evolve with time and I intend to send each revision to
the user in a self extracting zip file. The 'copy to directory' option works
well to automatically place the database where I have nominated. The problem
is that the table linking manager doesn't allow me to 'hard code' the table
linking paths into the database I send. Is there any way to code the linking
paths into the front end to see the back end without being physically
present?
 
There's code to re-link tables at the following URL ...

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.
 
On my website (see sig below) is a small sample database that does just
that. Look for: RelinkOnOpen.mdb
