Is there any way i can life link a attributed title block into an Access data base.

As at the moment I extract the information via a script file, the merge all the information together, then import it into Acess.

My goal is to have it so I update the database the drawing'll update and vise versa.

cheers,

Iam trying to do the same practice so please go to the tools and find db manager and try to follow the configration procedure. I advice you to review this procedure through help files
 
I have tryed, you mentioned that you too are trying to do the same. Have you had any success by linking it and getting it to work???

 
Hi,
If you know VB, you could write a macro that should be easier than a script routine. You would just get the Access object and the Title Block reference and push and pull the info to Access. I know this is a real general answer but it may be the easiest in the long run.
