Thanks very much for your assistance with this!

Hello I was wondering if there were any way to simulate the access Linked Table Manager programmatically? We have a SQL Server view in our app which fails to update correctly in Access unless the actual link is refreshed. I'd like to be able to do this each time we link up the app to the live...

OnMouseOver event?
