ADE tools - linked tables post setup issue...

[Dmitri V]

Greetings...

i am using Access Developer Extensions 2003 (Package Wizard) with an
Access 2003 split database (front end +back end). I have created a
distribution bundle but...

What i need to know is how can the front-end determine where the back
end is located when a user decided to perform a custom setup, to a
directory other than the "production" dir...

For example if the linked tables (back end) path is D:\backend how can
this be "refreshed" and replaced with the directory the user has
chosen for the setup (i.e. C:\Program Files\ or C:\Windows or any
other path) after setup has taken place...?

Thank u in advance....

You have to make allowance for this in your code.

The best write up I've found is in the Access Developers
Handbook by Getz, Litwin and Gilbert:

Also look at the info on the Access Web, specifically:
