sql server - How does one change the connection string of linked tables in MS Access -
So I just started a new job and part of my responsibilities to support some old access database applications until I Can not move them one of the first things with better things I have seen that access data uses linked tables (linked to SQL Server), but they are pointing to production. Before I made any changes, I wanted to set up a testing environment and wanted to point out a test SQL Server access file.
Here is the place where I am lost, I can not understand how to change the way to point to converting tables. I have noticed that some people have suggested changing it to a code, but format designs are bound to time and I like to change the design mode so that the test and prod version is completely different. I do not know where it is done from anywhere
Is there anyone who can tell me in the right direction? I do not want to change connection properties at run time ...
thanks, John
If you want to basically set up a new ODBC data source for a Dev or test environment, then point it in new tables using MS Access.
- Tables.
- On the Tools menu, point to Database Utility, and then click Linked Table Manager.
- Select the Prompt Prompt for the new location check box.
- Select the check boxes for the tables, whose links you want them to make changes, and then click OK.
- Select the new location in the dialog box, specify the new location, click Open, and then click OK.
