Trouble with Access 2000 and finding a table's source

Hello all,

I've come upon a problem when trying to find where some data in my .mdb
file is coming from. This database was designed by someone else
several years ago, and now I've been put to task at redesigning it for
my company's current needs. However, I've been trying to find out
where exactly the table that is feeding data into several reports and
forms is coming from. There is no linked table object in the Tables
list of the .mdb file, and I cannot find anyway whatsoever to find out
where the original table data is coming from.

If I open up one of the queries or reports, I can see the name of the
table that the information is coming from, but that's it. No path, no
originating .mdb. Hell, I don't even know if its coming from an actual
Access database and not an SQL Server database somewhere else. I've
been told that Access was in place here before the SQL Server software
was added, so I highly doubt that's where its linking from anyway.

I just need to find out the location of this rogue table I'm dealing
with so that I can add a handful of extra rows to it.
Thanks in advance.

The tables are hidden.
Click Tools + Options + General
Place a check mark in the 'Show Hidden Objects" box.

Hello all, I am writing a script where I need to use the system() function to call htpasswd. I can do this just fine on the command line...works great (see attached file, test.php).

After reading and experiencing the phenomenon of installing MS Office 2000 on a system that already has MS Office 97, or for that matter just Access 97 Runtime, I saw the ugliness that ensues. If one elects the standard installation, then Office 2000 deletes a large percentage of the older files. Of course, if one happens to choose Custom installation and elects not to uninstall prior versions, then things are happier. Yes, the archives...

Dear Sirs, Having previously used other SQL implementations I have grown used to having an audit trail to find when problems occured, the problem I am increasingly finding with Access is that there is no 'inbuilt' audit trail for me to see what has happend to the database to get it into its current state. Is there a way to make Access 2002 (in 2000 mode) to generate a log of ALL changes to table data ? A time/datestamp to start with...

I have a strange situation using Access to automate a Word mail merge. Using Access 2000 and Word 2000, the code opens Word, opens the document in Word, sets a table in the calling Access application as the data source, and then performs a merge. Everything works fine. However, when a user uses it in Access 2002 and Word 2002, an extra instance of the Access application is opened and remains open at the end. Sometimes it remains open

I have set up a mail merge document in Word 2003 which gets its data from my Access 2000 database.

I have managed to write the code to perform step 1 ok, but I'm having trouble with step 2. It opens the word document fine but does not perform the mail merge of...
