changing access 97 linked tables link

m23
Hi,

I have an access database unfortunately still running under access 97.
This contains a number of linked tables to another access 97 database.

I was wandering if there is a way to edit these links as the database
the linked tables links to has moved ie

c:\directory1\d irectory2\test. mdb

has become

c:\directory2\d irectory2\test. mdb

If possible I'd like to edit the existing linked table so it points to
the new location rather then delete it and relink it.

Thanks for your help.

That tool worked great in access 2000.
Couldn't get it to work in access 97 but found the linked table manager
under add ins so used this instead.

I'm not sure there's an easy solution to this, but thought I'd ask. I often find myself with a query which I'd like to reuse, but with a different datasource. These datasources generally have identical field names. The queries select a subset of the fields, so "Select *" is not really an option. Is there an easy way to change the source of a query, either in the design grid or SQL display? I suppose I could copy the SQL into WordPad...

Next I imported everything into a blank A2003 database. Then this db was...

Hi, Not sure if this is Access, SQL or ODBC. I have a SQL database with an Access Front End. They are linked with ODBC. Occasionally (it's happened 3 times in 4 months) some of the linked tables in Access become read only and I can't add new records to them. If I go into design view (in Access) the tables have lost their Primary Key. In SQL, they still work just fine. The only way I have found to get the links working again is to delete...

I had a strange situation with a view in SQL 7, that I could use some input on. I had a very simple view -- select a, b, c from table1 where x=y and z=q. Field a in table1 originally was varchar 70. A long time ago I changed it to varchar 95. I used this view as an ODBC linked table in an Access MDB. Recently, there was one row which has a value in field a that was more than 70 characters long. This caused an error when the view as...

I recently started a co-op/internship at a company and they are looking to migrate a large legacy supported application from OLEDB to SQL Server. I'm doing prelim work in experimenting with the options available. The application is huge (1+ million lines of C++ code), so it'd be quite a bit of man hours to adapt all the database code for SQL Server. I stumbled upon linked tables in an OLEDB file to an ODBC source (such as SQL Server) and...

Hi everyone, I am using Access 2003. I have a database with a table in it which is linked to an excel spreadsheet. When I install the database on someone else's system, the pathname to the excel file is different. Howwever, as it is in runtime on their system, I can't update the link using the Linked Table Manager. Is there a way of using a public constant to store a path which can be altered in advance and then combined with a...
