Redirect folders

Top  Previous  Next

If your linked objects are now stored in different folders compared to where they were originally linked from, you can set up the new folders in the Redirect window.

 

To open the Redirect window, click on the Redirect button in the Options window.

 

options_23

 

 

In the Redirect window, you enter the mapping rules.

 

redirect_03

 

For e.g. if you originally linked files from this folder

 

e:\employees\

 

but all the files have now been moved to

 

g:\archive\employeephotos\

 

then enter the redirection value like this:

 

e:\employees\ > g:\archive\employeephotos\

 

redirect_04

 

Access OLE Export/SQL Blob Export will then replace all occurences of e:\employees\ with g:\archive\employeephotos\ when locating linked objects.  You can enter multiple redirection values, one per line.
