Jeg har selv fundet svarene på mine spørgsmål:
Ændring af standarddatabasemappe, se:
http://www.eksperten.dk/spm/75356Opdatering af sammenkædede tabeller. Jeg fandt følgende modul i Northwind databasen til Access2000
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' RefreshTableLinks '
' '
' This module contains functions that refresh the '
' links to Northwind tables if they aren't available. '
