Hard Code Linked Tables

M

myelasticmind

Is there a way to hard code what a path to a linked table would be without
going through the Linked Table Manager or a re-linking process?

My issue is that I'm installing a database with linked tables onto several
different networks. I can pre-determine what each path will be, but I can't
do the re-linking or the Linked Table Manager remotely for each network.

Any work-arounds?

The easiest way is to create a local table to contain table names and paths.
Before deploying the database, unlink all linked tables. Write code
(triggered by an AutoExec macro) to get the table names from the local table
(if no linked tables exist), and link them.
