I am using msaccess with db2 but this seems to apply to any odbc linked table. I do not want the libary to be included in the link name
example MISCMFIL_NAMMSP where MISCMFIL is the libray and NAMMSP is the actual table.
When I link the table by default it returns MISCMFIL_NAMMSP
I can manually rename the link but with the number of tables and links I need to process I would prefer that the library not be included at the creation of the link so I could forgo this step

The step cannot be foregone, but you can run a procedure in your code to process through all your tables (TableDefs) and rename them to a version of the name which excludes the text "MISCMFIL_" .
I know where you're coming from as I did something very similar myself on one of my databases.

You could use code similar to the following : - Public Sub RenameTables()
-
Dim strLeft As String
-
Dim tblThis As DAO.TableDef
-
-
strLeft = "MISCMFIL_"
-
For Each tblThis In CurrentDb.TableDefs
-
With tblThis
-
If Left(.Name, Len(strLeft)) = strLeft Then
-
Debug.Print "From " & .Name,
-
Call DoCmd.Rename(NewName:=Mid(.Name, Len(strLeft) + 1), _
-
ObjectType:=acTable, _
-
OldName:=.Name)
-
Debug.Print " to " & .Name
-
End If
-
End With
-
Next tblThis
-
End Sub
Lines #9 & #13 are optional, but give a log of all the tables that have been renamed. You will find the results in the Immediate Pane (See Debugging in VBA).

I have an Access 2000 MDB file with a SQL 7 back end. I have a main table

I have ODBC linked tables to a SQL 7 database in an A2K database. The linked

I am developing a process that will automatically run at night which will
access those tables. I need to be able to give Access the password, as the

If you have access to the database that the linked table is in, modify
it there. You can't modify a linked table. Alternatively, you can
import the linked table, then it won't be linked any more and you can
modify it. There are potential problems with this strategy, as you will
be working on a copy of the original table, so any new data that goes
into the original table from elsewhere will not be reflected in your
database.

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.
