Relinking to back end hangs

Ray
I have a split DB running on a network, with code to relink to tables on
launch of the client is they are broken.

Usually, this works fine, but for some reason just hangs if another user is
using the system. Any idea why and what I can do about it?

Hangs or just takes a long time? If in 2K or 2K2 it can take a long
time due to it disconnecting from the back end after each operation,
it then tries to delete the .ldb file from the back end, if this is
open by another user it takes a few retries before giving up.

In this case, link one table and open a form bound to it, or open the
BE database in code and hold a recordset open, in both cases, keep
that open for the duration of the app, not just the relinking as it
tries to do the same thing when closing the lats form as well.

Thanks, Trevor, that's an enormous help. I'll try it out first thing
tomorrow.

Or just hold the db open:

set db = dbengine.openda tabase("path to BE")

That is all it really needs :-)

Hi All, I've got a situation where I am developing an Access 97 app for a client, and am in the "beta testing" stage. I have split the app up, using the DB splitter, into front-end /back-end for the usual reason ... so I can mess with form/report revisions. Since splitting, I've had issues with re-linking the tables ... as it relates to the completetely different "My Documents" data paths on several different Win98 / Win XP computers.

I'm inherited a database that has a few issues. One of the less severe issues, but the one the users bitch about is the speed across the LAN. So I thought that I could unbind the NUMEROUS subforms on the tab control. So I unbound the 25+ subforms and added an OnChange event to the Tab Control. Only about 2/3 of the subforms have reappeared. I've been over the names again and got a few more working, but there are some that just won't come...

I use the following code (behind a command button on the FE) to relink from a user's local copy of the BE to the file-server's BE on our LAN. I use this, for example, when a person brings in their laptop and connects to our LAN. The code works fine if there are no other users accessing the server's BE at the time. If the file-server's BE is open at the time, however, then the relinking process does not finish -- it just pauses. When...

Hi all, I have a consistent test case where os.popen3() hangs in Windows. The system hangs when retrieving the lines from the child process stdout.
