To directly open the database

[hfsitumo2001]

I made 3 years ago my database with menu, and now I want to inspects again my report design, but since it was long I forgot how to directly by pass the menu and open my database. Also I want to check it in my laptop. But it seems the path to reach the backend is different, how can I correct the path

Thank you

Frank

Bypass what menu? Use Ctrl+Shift when opening database to bypass automation settings. Then use LinkedTableManager to change link paths or use VBA procedure to change links.

You shouldn’t need to press the ctrl key, just the shift.

Oops, memory failed me, yes, just Shift key. That's why it's called "Shift Key Bypass"!

I include a relink form in every application whether the users will need to use it or not because I always need to relink the BE when I am moving from test to production at a minimum. You can have a hidden start up form that checks a table that should always exist (probably different for each application so I have to change the form when I copy it from an old app). If the table is not found, open the relink form.

You didn't post the app so I don't know what any of this means. Please post the app (with directions to reproduce the error) or give us more to go on.

The Auto find on the issued form was some times work some times not, could it the API should be ajusteed?

If you actually want assistance, you should probably do as Pat suggests and either post the application file or at least provide more information Tay you have previously.

Repeating the question using the same words isn't helping. What is "Auto find"? Are you sure this isn't your own code which is not working correctly? When EXACTLY is the code running? Does it run when you open a form? Push a button? Once you determine what triggers what you are calling "auto find", we have a better idea of what it might be and how you can stop the code as it runs so you can find the bug. Access doesn't have an API per se. Anything you want to happen, happens with code you write.
