I have been working on getting a linked shape to communicate with an Access database using ODBC, it works but I need to be able to locate where the database is and then reference it. ADO can do this I have been told. Is there a string I can put in the shape sheet to reference an ADO datasource? Or is there a way to reference the ODBC source through code and update where it is linked to without using the ODBC administrator.
Any input would be helpful
Thanks
Terry
