On a related matter to this, I've been trying to find a way to automate
Word's location of its mail merge file link back to an Access table. A
relative link would be ideal. Anyone done this?

Subject: [mso] Access 2002: Relative Table Links?


Is there a way to set up 'relative' table links to a database in the
same folder?  I have added a 'read only' version of the database used by
sites that has a very shortened menu where user can only view reports
and open forms.  However it will link to the main database tables for
the reporting, and I do not know the particulars on each site
server/directory, they are all set up slightly different.  I use below
line of code in my forms table that links to a relative directory for
the forms, but can I do same with the tables, and if so, how?  I'm
coming up blank in any searches for attempting this and hope it can be
done.  Thank you, Cathy

 (example of relative link to Word documents)  oApp.Documents.Add
Template:=CurrentProject.Path & "\WordDoc\" & strFileName
