changing access 97 linked tables link

m23
Hi,

I have an access database unfortunately still running under access 97.
This contains a number of linked tables to another access 97 database.

I was wandering if there is a way to edit these links as the database
the linked tables links to has moved ie

c:\directory1\directory2\test.mdb

has become

c:\directory2\directory2\test.mdb

If possible I'd like to edit the existing linked table so it points to
the new location rather then delete it and relink it.

Thanks for your help.

That tool worked great in access 2000.
Couldn't get it to work in access 97 but found the linked table manager
under add ins so used this instead.
