A Man - 31 Mar 2006 14:35 GMT

I have Access 2000 on Win XP. I have a linked table in a db which links
to an MDB file in My Documents. When I go to Linked table manager it
only shows a partial path to the other MDB file that is linked to. The
linked table manager dialog cannot be resized. So how can I view the
full path of the source MDB file?

Stupid @##%$& Access.

Thanks.

Use the Documenter.

Agreed, there are many places where an un-sizeable dialog is unacceptable.

You can also view the table in design view and open the properties dialog.
It you want this to display in the database window, manually type something
into the description property and then save the table design. Then set the
tables view in the database window to "Details".
