You have to use the TransferDatabase method to relink it and pass in the Application.Path() value to make it relative to the current path. Something like:

Public Sub Main()

    DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "Microsoft Access", Application.Path & "\" & "MyFile.mdb", acTable, "Customers", "Customers"

End Sub

You will probably want to also use add a line to delete the link before you do the TransferDatabase because if the table is already linked, it will make one named Customers1, Customers2, etc.
