New little problem...
On my development machine. it's all perfect.
BUT when I deploy, it fails to connect and I think the culprit is an additional "Network = DBMSSOCN" added to the connection string when converting to DSN-less connection.
When running the VBA procedure FixConnections...
It is a "System DSN".
It's been a long time since I created the initial table links so I don't remember how it looked.
For the recent linked tables, I was forced initially to create a (system) DSN.
Since then, I just refer to it again and again.
But when copying to my user workstation, it...
I have a MS Access database (2013) that I created many years ago which accesses SQL Server tables (2016) through linked tables.
Recently I added a couple of linked tables and seemed forced to use a DSN file in the process.
When deploying my new version to my customer, the link tables fail...
Cool, I think this solves part 1 of my problem! The runtime is indeed available still.
Now, I just need to figure out how to change the connection properties of my ADP file without the menu system, but I hope this should be easy to find.
Thanks :)
Dear all,
I have developed an MS Access 2010 .adp project (a few years ago) that I would like my customer to use but they didn't have MS Access installed.
They bought MS Access 2013 because they could not buy 2010 any more but I have since discovered that there would be a lot of work...
