linking external data
hello,
how can I link external data (from Access tables) without referring the DataSource to a fixed path, but to the Workbook path by VBA code? Now I refer to a fixed path (e.g. C:\P1) containing the workbook and the mdb files and the workbook refreshes the data external links at the opening, but if the workbook is installed in another directory the refreshment process fails or asks parameters that confuse the user.

Emiliano Use ThisWorkbook.Path to get the the path to your workbook Hope this helps / Lars-Åke |
