ACC2000: Changes to Linked Object Do Not Update Source Properties (208600)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q208600 Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).
SYMPTOMS
If you change the source of a linked object on a form by using the Links dialog box, the SourceDoc and SourceItem properties for that object are not updated although the object itself is updated correctly.
CAUSE
The SourceDoc and SourceItem properties are not designed to reflect changes to an object's current source. These properties display their source when you create new objects. When you update existing objects through the user interface or programmatically through Visual Basic for Applications, the SourceDoc and SourceItem properties do not reflect the fact that the object has been changed to point to a file other than the original source.
REFERENCESFor more information about linking to objects, click Microsoft Access Help on the Help menu, type Add an unbound object to a form or report in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topic.
For more information about the SourceDoc property, click Microsoft Access Help on the Help menu, type SourceDoc property in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topic.
