link tables and remote connections to access

Hi,

Using MS Access, I linked a database to outlook contacts. Changes in
an outlook contact appear in access database as expected, and changed
to the db appear in outlook as expected.

If I place the Access db in a shared folder, is it possible to link
another PC running outlook to the same db, using a unc (to identify the
remote server)?

tia.

Hi, I have an application that uses MS-SQL Linked tables. I have a utility routine that drops all links and re-establishes them.

I have an Access 2000 front-end pointing at a SQL Server backend, with around 80 linked tables and views. I frequently need to point the front-end at different versions of the back-end, and achieve this by relinking the tables and views to use a different DSN. I use the Linked Table Manager > Select All > and tick the 'always prompt for a new location' box, then click OK. It correctly pops up the 'select data source' box, from which I...

In Visual Studio .Net 2002 Server Explorer, if I add a new connection under "Data Connections", I can specify a remote server name and the username and password that I want to use, but then when the database appears, if I right-click on "Tables", there's no option to add a new table. If I right-click "Servers" in Server Explorer instead and add a new server on my local intranet, I can browse its SQL Server databases, and under each...
