I have about twenty reports which our company no longer uses, but may use again, potentially someday. I want to remove these reports from our database to free up space. I want to essentially just move them to another network drive or access database. Can someone tell me if either of these scenarios is possible? If so, can someone advise me on the most efficient way to accomplish this? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

I would just archieve the entire FrontEnd and then delete the now unwanted reports. They can always be imported from the archieved copy.

Do you suggest that I copy the entire db mdb to a different location and delete the reports from the source mdb db? Otherwise, what do you mean?

it looks like rg is off-line so i'll throw in here...

i think he means *copy* the db (front end only - is your db split?) to another folder, leaving you with two - the one you are working with and one in another folder you could call "Archive" (a backup folder, which you should have anyway). then delete the reports from the one you are working with. you'll have a backup if necessary.

That's what I thought, I just wanted to clarify; thanks much!
