I am working out a datbase for a payroll program. This payroll program is in a multi-company environment. That means that i can select different locations for the data source. So i have three directories. Directory1, Directory2 and the System directory. I have a datadase container in directory1 for the first company and another in directory2 for the second company. The problem is that i have 5 tables in the system directory that i need to include in both database containers. So if i assign these tables in one database the other database will ask me if i would like to create a backlink for it. Even if i try to change the databse property from the dataenviroment of the form the message still pops up. Is there a way to solve this problem. Thanks...
