Not sure if I should put this post in here or the Import/Export thread so I appologize if I chose the wrong one. Additionally, I know the way the database is set up isn't ideal but it's just the way it has to be.
The database is split into two parts: (1) The Front End which is utilized by the end user and includes all the queries, reports, and forms; and (2) the Back End which includes all the tables that are linked to the Front End.
Every few months I send out an update to all the users to update their Front End databases. Everytime they update them they have to relink their databases to their Back End databases (again, I know this isn't ideal but just how it is). My goal is try to make this process easier for them.
What I hope to accomplish is that when they open the Front End database after updating it, the system will check for a tables. If no tables are found it will automtically open up the Get External Data - Access Database wizard. I know I'm only talking about a couple clicks saved here but the less they have to do the better. If you have an even better idea to make this even easier please feel free to share.
Additionally, I am not trained or experienced in VBA (I assume this is what will need to be used). I am still trying to find time to learn it so if you are able to just point me in the direction of some code to use that would be very helpful.
TIA!
