Hello,

When a user clicks a button in my Access database, I want to use VBA code to link to tables in another Access database.

I am not in a hurry for the code because it is not something that is critical for me right now. I am only curious how it is done.

Does anyone have any code that they would share with me to do that or know where I can go to find the code?

Thanks for any help,

David

That link may help, however, more generally - what is it exactly you are trying to do and why?

This is the sample directly out of the built-in Access help showing the basic syntax.

Code: 
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "ODBC Database", _
    "ODBC;DSN=DataSource1;UID=User2;PWD=www;LANGUAGE=us_english;" _
    & "DATABASE=pubs", acTable, "Authors", "dboAuthors"

Alternatives include raw SQL statements that build (make table queries) new tables based on the contents of external tables.
