Cathy,

On your idea, maybe you can run this by them.  You can have Access check to
see who is logged in to the network and display a different menu (or set of
menus) based on who is signed in.  I'll have to give a 100% automated
variation a thought though.

Oooouch! . . . if there's a way to 100% automate the process, that would be
ideal.  What about the same relative idea only to export the table if no
100% way on the link?  I could put a button the user could push, I could
live with that much user involvement, but if they have to scroll for the
path and tables they will not be happy.  The idea is the people using the
short version of the database to only get forms and reports still need
access to the current tables.  I had thought about a password protected set
of menus so one database would fit all sizes, but am getting a no from
those who are requesting . . . they want 2 databases.  Anyway, I'm game for
any ideas, and appreciate your help, thanks, Cathy

Cathy,

Are you looking for something 100% automatic or would you be averse to
having the user enter the path?

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
