I have two .mdbs,
MyTestApp.mdb- front end for forms and
MyTestData.mdb-backend for tables.
While the front end is copied to the user's desktop via a batch file,
the front end is linked to the backend currently. I did that
manually. The catch here is that the backend .mdb is used by more
than one application.
I am looking for a way via VBA in my front end app at startup (and the
other ones) to:
1. Interrogate to see if tblA, tblB, & tblC are linked to the
backend .mdb.
2. If the table being checked exists, great. If any of the tables are
missing, I would need to execute a link to the missing table in a VBA
module.
Does someone have a code sample of how this is done? I tried invoking
a table object, but I am experiencing some errors trying to set this
up. (I'm not sure of a generic way to check all of the tables in an
app regardless of their table names or how many tables are there.)
Some other shared objects that need to go on the backend .mdb file are
Reports, Macros, and Queries and a few modules. On this side of
things, do you link to these objects to use them the same way you link
to tables, or is is a bad idea to share objects other than tables?
Thanks for your help...it is appreciated....

You can obtain the Developer Solutions example database from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/248674/en-us. It has not, AFAIK, been
updated since Access 2000 but works with all subsequent versions of Access,
though some of the solutions may differ in detail in Access 2007.
Select "Use multiple databases" as Category of Examples, then choose "Link
tables at startup" (the only example in the category).
When I use similar VBA, I use the code at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm to allow the user to search and
select files in a comfortable, familiar way (the Windows Common Dialog that
they are used to using in other applications).

Hi all,
I've got a Front End / Back End database that was working just fine.
One day i opened the FE to find that if I tried to open one of the
linked tables from the database window, nothing happened (hourglass
for about 2 seconds then nothing).
I tried relinking the tables and got the same response. (Access even
completely bombed out once with a Dr Watson failure).

I have a access form that is connected to linked sql table via odbc.
I have some fields that I dont want to allow nulls when data is
entered via the form. I can set the null checking on the SQL server
database but the ODBC error tha tis returned is not very polite to the
user since it mentions the sql field not the nice label.
Is there a way for me to modify this error or put the check in access?
