I inheritied an applicaiton that has many linked tables from many diffierent sources. I have used Linked Table Manager to see the properties but I am in need of finding out the connection strings or the schemas from which the tables are located. Is there something within Access that allows you to see this?
Thanks!

You may have a look at the property sheet of the linked tables

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hold curser on the linktable icon for a second.. tool tip will show the location (Access 2002 or higher)
Or - (As PHV & RoyVidar[another thread] said)if you open the table in design view, ignore the warning, enter the properties, and it should be available in the "Description" property.
