VB6 client & Access2000

[JHausmann]

Prior to Access 2000, the answer would have to be linked tables for the simple reason that Access(Jet) sends to the client, DDL for every table that is accessed in a network open, where with linked tables that information already exists on the client. I don't know if Microsoft changed things in Access 2000....
