I have an Access 2003 MDE with a SQL Server 2000 back-end using ODBC
linked tables. The MDE is shared among approximately 20 users.
This is the environment; I don't have the ability to change it at this
time.
New reporting requirements really need to use an UDF to supply the
result set. Which I believe requires a pass-through query.
After changes are made to the development MDB by the development staff
and approved for deployment, the MDE is compiled, the table links are
updated to point to the production database, and the shared MDE is
replaced.
But the pass-through queries wouldn't be updated with the existing
workflow and I'd like to have a technique to ensure that the queries
are updated.
I can examine the connection strings against the linked tables' and,
assuming that the tables' connection are correct, identify the need to
update the query connections.
But I'm concerned that updating the query connection string via VBA
will cause problems with sharing the MDE, even though it would only
happen the first time someone tried to run a report that used a
pass-through query.
Has anyone had a similar problem and, if so, how did you resolve it?

Your problem is that you are sharing a common MDE. Each user should have their
own local copy of the MDE. Then making modifications to queires
programmaticall y is no problem at all.

if the local table is part of the reporting MDB, the insert statement

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
