Is there a way to export linked information in access 2010.  For instance the odbc, server& database names associated with each table?  I found the documenter but that is only for one table and is a mess in excel.

Please post the SQL view of the recordsource of the form and the rowsources of the four combo boxes.

The relationship DOESN'T ACTUALLY MATTER at this point. You do need the relationships, but they won't affect how the form works!

My idea was that you would have tblTablenames with fields (I don't remember and can't scroll back to see them) for AccessDatabaseID, ODBCID, SQLDatabaseID and ServerID, as the Recordsource for your form; the form would not have ANY other tables involved at all. It would have a textbox for the table name and four combo boxes, based on the appropriate tables (AccessDatabases, ODBC, SQLDatabases, Servers) and bound to those four ID fields. You would type in the tablename, and then select the appropriate choices from the four combo boxes. Then you'ld move to the next tablename, and so on.

I haven't any trace of a clue what you mean by "it doesn't work... it shows four records at the bottom".

Again: If you're basing the Form on this multitable query, DON'T. That's not how relationships work, that's not how forms work!!!!

Add fields AccessdbID, ODBCID, SQLdbID and ServerID to tblTableName.

You can then use a Form with combo boxes bound to those fields, based on your database, odbc and SQLdb and Server tables.

It's not quite normalized but a) I think it will meet your current needs and it will be quick and b) it can be used to populate normalized tables if you need to move there.

    I tried to look at it but none of the buttons work.

    Did you browse to an Access front end file containing linked tables after clicking the first button? And then click the second button down?  It's working fine for me.

    The COntrol Source of the combo box should be the corresponding ID field in tblTablename - is it??

    The combo gets data from its Rowsource; it stores the value in the Bound Column of the selected row into the Control Source field in the table.

    Note that to use Ken's (excellent, I'm gonna steal it, thanks Ken) code your database must be in a Trusted Location - use the Trust Center.
