Hello,

I have an Access2k db that is in two parts. The front end has the main menu
and most of the forms, queries and reports. The back end has mostly all data
in tables.

The front end forms, queries and reports in the front end refer to tables
that are linked to the actual tables in the back end.

I want to put a new button on the main menu in the front end that opens a
form that pulls its data from table in a third database across a network.
Currently the only link to that table is in the back end of my db.

Is it possible to link to a link? Or do I need a link in the front end to
get the data?

Did I make any sense? Don't worry, I don't want to know how to do it, just
if it can be done. lol

TIA,

Mike W.
 
Mike:

The answer to your question is yes. Also, you can link from your Front End
directly to the third db, if you so choose.

Actually it depends on the table that is being linked.

If the table is a SharePoint View you have to go directly to sharepoint
not to the linked version in a different MDB.

And I have NOT been able to link to a link in another MDB. I can go to
that original DB and link also to it but NOT to the middle DB that had
a link.
