I have 2 access 97 databases.
database1 reads a bunch of ascii files and
if they are new it reads them in and updates
its files.
database2 links to the tables in database1, on open
of the switchboard. It deletes its table entries and relinks
to database1.
database2 has all the forms in it.
how can database2 tell database1(that is not running)
to check for new files and update (these modules are working ok)
and then link to the tables ?
I have never tried to give remote commands to another database.
I would assume that you just open the database and call the correct
module that does it.
Can I check for table updates before relinking?
I think I can do that.
thanks for any help
