Since you were so great on helping me on this project, I have another project. But I am not sure this is even possible. I will try to explain. As you know I have a database with linked tables. We have different servers that we map to. We have a server in mexico that is separate from ours here. Because you can't cross servers with these links unless you are mapped to it (unless you know a way that the link tables can be accessed). What is done now, the files (pdf's and cut files) are updated through a program that takes the files on our server and updates their server when there is a change or update. We tried that with these database files but it was just copying the database including the linked tables but that wont work because they can't open it. So I made copy of the database but just imported the table instead of linked it. But this will not update when I make any changes to the data as you know since the tables are no longer linked. I would have to import the tables every time I change any of the data to copy over the old data. And there are several databases that I use. Do you know a way to automatically update or anything like that. I am not sure if I explained this right. Let me know what you think. thank you so much.
