Displaying the location of a linked database table in Access 2003

1 New Member
I have an Access system that uses linked tables to store the data separately from the system design & code. I am trying to implement a text box to display the location of the database that the system is currently linked to to make sure I am using the right data.

I am using the following expression which works fine in Access 2000, but not in 2003. Can someone please help me to update this to work in 2003?

=currentdb.tabl edefs("table1") .[Connect]

Thanks

Hi,
Can you try withot the brackets of Connect?

If it does'nt work you can try using only the index of the respective table instaed the name!

And sometimes it's better to set the database to a variable and then use the variable with the statement!

But it have to work!

TableDefs(intlo op).Connect

How to run action query against linked table? I have an Access 2003 mdb with an Excel 2003 Workbook as a linked table. When I attempt to run an action query against the linked table I get this error: Deleting data in a linked table is not supported by this ISAM. From what I understand, indexed sequential access method (ISAM) drivers are used to update "non-Microsoft" file formats. So why doesn't Access

Greetings! After finally figuring out that the Linked Table manager is no longer an add-in in Access 2003 I now discover that it does not display any of my linked tables in the 'select linked tables to be updated' list. Although I have about 30 linked tables in my application, absolutely none of them are showing up in the list. I compacted and repaired, but that didn't have any effect. Has anyone else seen this problem? If so, how is...

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...
