Hi Gurus,

Is there any way to access another MS Access database from the current access database using sql? or do I need to do VBA coding?

Thanks,
dbadmin

You can Link Tables, ie, go to File, Get External Data...Link Tables.

You can also do it in conjunction with the use of the ADO ConnectionString property.

You can use SQL too,

[tt]SELECT ID FROM tblTable IN 'C:\Docs\Tek-Tips.mdb'[/tt]
