I have an application where the back-end resides on a networked workstation, and the front-end resides on up to 20 other workstations on a Local Area Network. This application will be used in 17 other LANs where the back-end will be in one workstation per LAN.
I was thinking of creating an INI file which would specify the IP Address of the workstation with the back-end. This way I do not have to hard-code the IP Address in the application itself.
Question:
Is there a way of retrieving the values from an INI file within Access? If so, does anyone have the code to accomplish this task? NOTE: I intend on having the ini file reside in the same directory as the Access front-end.
Thanks much,
