I just need to know gnerally what commands/api I would need to look up
documentation for, if this can be done at all.
I have some users who take copies of an Access database home with them
to do analysis. I am going to split the database however, and that
means that they will have to copy the backend and then relink to that
local copy in their frontend when they are not on the network.
In other words, manually: Copy backend to local computer, disconnect
form network and go home, open local frontend, open linked table
manager, select all, select prompt for new location, click ok, browse
to backend file, etc.
Instead, implemented programmaticall y: Copy backend to local computer,
disconnect form network and go home, open local frontend, run a
form/command/query(whichever gets the job done), a select file dialog
comes up, user chooses the local backend, the code updates all links.
That way I can set this up as a button the user clicks.

You can search this group or the web through Google and find lots of
code samples. Here is one of the more popular sources: http://www.mvps.org/access/tables/tbl0009.htm

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?

Are there arguments for the built-in commands called via RunCommand
such as acCmdNewObjectReport or do they always require interactive
input? Is the code behind the built-in commands exposed anywhere? At
one time there was some code available for wizards, is this all hidden
now?
Thanks!

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...

I have a very unusual request.
I need to be able to generate reports and save them as TIF
files, with full programmatic control. The application will
provide the filenames. Each page of the report will be saved
as a seperate file. All the user should have to do is press a
button to generate the TIFs, without having to "touch the meat"
of viewing the report, choosing a file path/name, answering
prompts, etc.

Hi all,
I am deploying an A2k app to users with different versions of Access.
Using Access 2000 the relinking on startup (on deploying a new frontend or when backend has changed) is very fast.
It takes about 4-5 seconds to relink some 50 tables. (I am relinking, not refreshing)
Using Access 2003 the relinking is very slow compared with Access 2000.
Now It takes about 1,5 to 2 minutes !! to relink the same 50 tables.
I am testing...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
