    Question Access 2010 source code file - can't access Link Manager.

    I was given a source code file which I am trying to support. A client (ClientName.accdb) file runs on a user's local PC and accesses a Server file (ServerName.mdb) on a local Network. The network managers changed the Network names and now the program can't access it's server data.



    The system was designed so that if the client can't find the database, it gives the user a message saying the database is down for maintenance and then immediately shuts down the application.

    The result is that I can't bring the Source Code Application to a condition that I can access the Link Manager to change where the client looks for the database!

    I realize that I can design this system in a way to not have this issue, but, in the meantime, is there a way I can get this application to stop and let me use the Link Manager? I've tried pressing Cntr-Break, but that does seem to work!


    Thanks,

    Larry Mohr

    Thanks ssanfu - I tried that and it doesn't work! I think this would work if I saved the app in developer mode but I didn't!

    Holding down the shift key and opening the ClientName.accdb file should work.... unless the AllowBypassKey property was set to FALSE.

    or post your dB here (zip it first)
