Refreshing Links in Access doesn't allow me to Add Records!

Hi
I have an application in Access2003 with linked tables. When I create the
links manually (picking DNS etc) I have no problems. When I then try to
recreate the links programatically (different users) I am not able to add an
y
records to any of the tables! If I erase all the linked tables and reconnect
manually with the other user I have no problems!
I am using the relink code from
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;159691
Any and all suggestions Welcome!!!
Regards
Meir

primary key defined on the table, inserts an dupdates shouldn't be a
problem. However, instead of using a DSN, you can supply connection
information in your code. This should get you started:
Public Sub LinkODBConnectionString()
Dim strConnection As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
Set db = CurrentDb
' Specify the driver, the server, and the connection
strConnection = "ODBC;Driver={SQL Server};" & _
" Server=(local);Database=SqlDbName;Truste
d_Connection=Yes"
' Specifying a SQLS user/password instead of integrated security
' strConnection = "ODBC;Driver={SQL Server};" & _
' " Server=(Local);Database=SqlDbName;UID=Us
erName;PWD=password"
' Create Linked Table. The LinkedTableName and the
' ServerTableName can be the same.
Set tdf = db.CreateTableDef("LinkedTableName")
tdf.Connect = strConnection
tdf.SourceTableName = "ServerTableName"
db.TableDefs.Append tdf
Set tdf = Nothing
End Sub
