How to change OLE links automatically - HELP

We have a FM 5.5 (win) database with thousands linked objects. The linked

objects are inserted from subdirectories on a common O: drive. But is seems

like the filename is expanded to the UNC when inserted, e.g.:

O:datafolderinfo.xls

becomes:

SERVERdata$folderinfo.xls

Now the PROBLEM is, that we have to change network organization, which makes

the UNC invalid, but the O:... location will still be correct.

Is there any way to automatically search through links in a FM database and

correct them? Is there a way to write a script (in 5.5, v6, or v7) or can

any plug-ins do the trick?

Any help very much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Morten
