P710_Connect_Ariadne_tables
This function checks if the current competition database and the archive database according to T702-Module are available in the Ariadne directory. If not, From 702-Set-Ariadne-tables-database is lauched to ask for the name of the missing database.
If the database to connect (current competition resp. archive) is available, and the the link-path is valid, no further refreshment of the table links is done. This is the normal situation. Refraining from refreshing the table links gives a quicker start-up of Ariadne. If the database to connect is available, but the table links are not valid, all the table links are refreshed.
