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? ------------------------------------ GR Business Process Solutions Ray Blake Head of Software Design ray@xxxxxxxxx Braedon Newell Road Hemel Hempstead Herts HP3 9PD tel: 01442 396518 fax: 01442 389353 www.grbps.com ------------------------------------ -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cathy.Evans@xxxxxxxxx Sent: 16 August 2004 21:20 To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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 ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
