Do you want to link many files in 1 go in Microsoft©Access? Here’s the solution (for dBase, but works also for Excel, …)!
Private Sub BttnLinkTables_Click()
' Definevariables
Dim ImportFileAs String
Dim ImportDirectoryAs String
' Initializevariables
ImportDirectory= "C:WebITDBFFiles"
ImportFile= Dir("")
' Loop through the entire folder and select each file
Do WhileImportFile<> ""
' Check if the file is a dBase file (.DBF extension)
If Right(ImportFile, 4) = ".DBF" Then
TableName= Left(ImportFile, Len(ImportFile) -4)
' Command to link the dBase 5.0 files in your MS Access database
‘ If Excel or other format use different Transfer options
DoCmd.TransferDatabaseacLink, "dBase5.0", ImportDirectory, acTable, ImportFile, TableName, 0, 0
End If
' Findnext file
ImportFile= Dir()

I am so proud about these 2 kids.
They saw immediately that
Web-IT needed somebody like me (smart, good looking, brains, ...)
One day the 2 little daughters of the owners were playing with the PC of the old man
They saw a presentation of Web-IT Support and Consulting and they asked what W,E,B,-,I,T was
My parents explained that it was the name of the company and they started to make funny noises
Webbit, webbiiiit, webbbi, webbeeeand they said it sounded like the sound of a frog
Result?
My name: Webby
My body: a frogWhyis myname is Webby?
